Michael Walsh, born 5 August 1977 in Rotherham, is a professional footballer who until recently played as a defender for Port Vale.

Michael started his professional career at Scunthorpe making 104 league appearances scoring once before signing for Port Vale in 1998, making over 150 appearances for Vale. Vale kept faith with Walsh despite a number of serious and long term injuries, as he was considered to be highly rated when fit.

However he was told in May 2007 that he would not be offered a contract for the forthcoming season and is currently a free agent.

Since Port Vale released Michael, he tried to play for Alsager Town for 100 pounds a week but he couldn't get over his injury and had to retire.
