About Bradley Walker
Brad Walker is a true club legend, having represented Rayleigh CC since 1979. As one of our longest-serving active players, his immense dedication to the club was formally recognised with Life Membership, followed by a long-service award in 2025. Brad’s off-pitch contributions are just as vital as his on-pitch achievements; from his ongoing work maintaining the grounds to playing a pivotal role in the purchase of the New Ground at Rawreth Lane in the early 2000s. On the pitch, his statistics since 1995 make for great reading: over 13,000 runs, including a century and more than 50 half-centuries. Also known for a bowling style infamous for its flight and guile, Brad continues to lead from the front as the Veterans XI Captain while still regularly turning out for our lower teams.
