Reuell Joshua Walters (born 16 December 2004) is an English professional footballer who plays as a right-back for club Luton Town.

Having started his career in Arsenal's academy, he joined Luton in 2024. He had a loan spell at Blackpool in early 2026.

Early life and youth career Walters was born in Lambeth, South London to father Raphael and mother Aisha, a former British gymnastics champion. He grew up in Streatham.

Having briefly played for a Brazilian soccer school in London until its closure, Walters had a spell with Peckham Town at the age of seven.

In July 2022, Walters was one of five academy players to travel with the first team to Germany for a mini training camp at the Adidas headquarters in Herzogenaurach, and started as a right-sided centre-back in the friendly to 2. Bundesliga side 1. FC Nürnberg on 8 July.

On 12 August, he made his debut for the club in a 4–1 loss against Burnley in the league. He went on to make 16 appearances in his first season at the club.

He made two league starts in the 2025–26 season before suffering a groin injury, ruling him out for three weeks. After struggling to regain his place in the first-team under his former Arsenal boss Jack Wilshere, Walters was sent out on loan for the remainder of the season.
