About
Christian Walton is an English goalkeeper currently with Ipswich Town. Born in 1995, he came through Plymouth Argyle’s youth ranks before spending nine years at Brighton & Hove Albion, where a long string of loan moves took him to Bury, Luton Town, Wigan Athletic and Blackburn Rovers among others. He first joined Ipswich on loan in August 2021, then completed a permanent transfer in January 2022, quickly making the number one shirt his own. Walton started all 46 league games as Town won promotion from League One in 2022/23, collecting a Golden Glove, and remained part of the squad through the club’s back-to-back rise into the Premier League. Capped by England at under-19, under-20 and under-21 level, he is reliable in his handling and distribution. He is contracted to Ipswich until June 2026, reportedly earning around £20,000 per week.
