Yorkshire-born Walter Coulston made around thirty league appearances for Exeter City in the late 1930s. He joined the club from Crystal Palace and later played for Barnsley and Notts County. He had started his career with Manchester City.

His first senior club was Manchester City where he played for the reserves during the 1935/36 before moving to Crystal Palace where he made a dozen league appearances.

Walter moved to Exeter City in the summer of 1937 and made his debut in a goalless draw at Notts County on 8 September 1937. Although a regular from mid-October until the end of the season, he moved to his hometown club Barnsley ahead of the following season.

Moving on Notts County during 1938/39, he played a handful of games for his new club before the outbreak of war. Returning to where he had grown up, Walter died in Barnsley in June 1990.
