Markus Walker Andersen (born 23 November 2006) is a professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Danish Superliga club Nordsjælland. Born in Australia, he represents Denmark at youth level.

Club career

Walker joined FC Nordsjælland from Dragør Boldklub in 2017. Here he worked his way up through the club's youth system.

In June 2024, 17-year-old Walker trained with the first-team squad in pre-season and also attended a training camp in Netherlands. The following month, Walker signed a new deal with the club.

Walker was also part of the first team training camp in winter 2025. On 23 February 2025 Walker made his official debut when he replaced Juho Lähteenmäki in the 81st minute in a Danish Superliga match against Sønderjyske.

On 24 July 2025, just days after Walker made his starting debut for Nordsjælland in the first match of the 2025–26 Danish Superliga season, it was confirmed that he had signed a new deal until June 2030. He was also promoted to the first team immediately.

Personal life

Walker was born in Australia and moved to Denmark when he was almost a year old. He has a Danish mother and an English father.
