In some footy news that's been doing the rounds, the New Zealand Warriors and Dylan Walker have stepped up to tackle the rumors swirling around the 29-year-old's reported desire to leave the club before his contract is up.
A few weeks back, Walker's name made its way into the headlines when a seasoned journo claimed he was looking to make a break from the Warriors and head back Down Under for personal reasons.
This unexpected development raised eyebrows, especially considering his solid contribution to Andrew Webster's squad since joining in 2023 and helping them make a splash in the finals last year.
But fear not, mates! Both Dylan Walker and the Warriors have set the record straight, assuring the NZ Herald that there's been no official request from the player or his camp for a release.
Despite mainly holding down the fort at lock forward lately, Walker has been known to mix it up on the field and is in it for the long haul with the club until the end of the 2025 NRL season.
