Walter Fernández Balufo (born 14 August 1989), known simply as Walter, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for CE Manresa mainly as an attacking midfielder.
Born in Caldes de Montbui, Barcelona, Catalonia, Walter finished his formation at FC Barcelona.[1] He started his senior career in the lower leagues, being successively loaned to CF Sporting Mahonés and Antequera CF.[2]
For 2009–10, Walter signed for four years with Segunda División club Gimnàstic de Tarragona, making his professional debut on 30 August 2009 by starting in a 1–0 away win against Real Murcia[3] and finishing the season with 34 matches (21 starts). In late June 2011, however, both parties agreed to cancel his contract,[4] and he was loaned to Hungarian side Videoton FC for two years.[5]
Walter played his first match in top flight football on 24 July 2011, featuring the full 90 minutes in a 4–0 home success over Paksi SE. He had first appeared in the UEFA Europa League 11 days earlier, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–2 loss at SK Sturm Graz.[6]
In the following years, Walter failed to settle with a team, representing K.S.C. Lokeren Oost-Vlaanderen,[7] FC Petrolul Ploiești,[8] Skoda Xanthi F.C. and Panthrakikos FC.[9]
