Jonathan Ronald "Jon" Walters (born 20 September 1983) is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for Premier League club Burnley and the Republic of Ireland national team.
Walters started his career at Blackburn Rovers but failed to break into the first team and joined Bolton Wanderers. Again he failed to establish himself and went out on loan to Hull City, Crewe Alexandra and Barnsley before joining Hull permanently. He then went on to play for Wrexham and Chester City before finally finding regular football at Championship side Ipswich Town. Walters spent three years at Portman Road before joining Stoke City for £2.75 million in August 2010. He helped Stoke reach the 2011 FA Cup Final after scoring twice in the semi-final against Bolton Wanderers as Stoke won 5–0. Walters played 54 matches during the 2011–12 season and then played in UEFA Euro 2012 with the Republic of Ireland. Walters remained a regular under Tony Pulis in 2012–13 and under Mark Hughes in 2013–14 and 2014–15.

On 18 August 2010 Walters joined Premier League side Stoke City for an initial £2.75 million fee on a four-year contract. He made his City debut on 21 August 2010 against Tottenham Hotspur. He scored his first goal on 24 August 2010 in a 2–1 Football League Cup win over Shrewsbury Town. He scored his first Premier League goal for Stoke on 2 October 2010 in a 1–0 win over Blackburn Rovers. After the match Walters earned praise from his former manager Sam Allardyce, and City manager Tony Pulis. Walters scored twice for Stoke in a 3–0 win over West Bromwich Albion the first came from the penalty spot and the other via a rebound from Scott Carson.

Walters scored twice for City in a 2–0, FA Cup third round replay win at Cardiff City. It took him until the end of March 2011 to find the back of the net in the Premier League again, scoring in a 4–0 win over Newcastle United. He scored in the next match against Chelsea and was named as man of the match. Following the match Pulis spoke of his delight at Walters improved performances.
