Like I said, a quick search of posts proves otherwise. Why are you so bothered about being the first anyway? It's not like you've got a good track record on it.

Did they see him play involved with 1st team? not for the reserves. If I'm wrong I'll admit it I don't check back posts from yesterday so won't be from getting on for 2 years ago!

Nathan Smith is full blooded from memory and there fans are kicking off on Twitter. Might be worth a look.

I’ve seen mixed comments on Nathan Smith. Positive he is going to Stoke. Negative he proved he isn’t good enough for L1.

Lincoln City


Everyone at City would like to thank Jay Benn, Sam Clucas, Ali Smith and Tyler Walker after confirmation they will leave the club this summer.

Benn, Clucas, Smith and Walker leave at the conclusion of their contracts.

Clucas is keen to continue his playing career, but the Imps have made clear the door is open for him to start his coaching journey with the club when he is ready to do so.

Adam Jackson and Ben House will remain with City after the club took up options to extend their deals.

There are ongoing discussions with Paudie O’Connor and Sean Roughan, who are out of contract.

Tyler walker looked a really good player a few season back. Not sure if he's been getting injured or lost form.

Tyler walker looked a really good player a few season back. Not sure if he's been getting injured or lost form.

From Wiki:
On 5th August 2023, he made his permanent Lincoln City debut, starting against Bolton Wanderers.[64] However, just five games later he was ruled out for eight weeks with a hamstring injury.[65] On 7 December, it was confirmed that Walker suffered a recurrence of the hamstring problem and was likely to miss the rest of the 2023–24 season.[66]

On 14 March 2025, Walker joined Wealdstone of the National League on loan for the remainder of the 2024–25 season as Lincoln's director of football Jez George allowed him to opportunity to find regular football following his recovery from a series of injuries.

Only 8 games for Wealdstone. If he’s as good as his dad ………
