The 25-year-old central defender died on Thursday morning (local time) as a result of injuries sustained in the accident. This was announced by his club Charlotte FC, where ex-ÖFB team captain Christian Fuchs has recently been hired as an assistant coach.
According to local authorities, Walkes collided with another boat at the helm of a boat on Wednesday. He was found unconscious and taken to a hospital. How the accident happened is being investigated. His club is currently completing a training camp in Fort Lauderdale in preparation for the upcoming season. A friendly against league rivals St. Louis City SC scheduled for this Saturday has been cancelled.
Walkes started his career at Tottenham Hotspur. The players of the Premier League team wore mourning ribbons in Thursday’s 4-2 defeat at Manchester City. After two years with the English third division club Portsmouth, the central defender first switched to Atlanta United in the USA in 2020 and has been playing for Charlotte in North Carolina since December 2021
