A Queensland State of Origin and Australian international representative hooker, he played most of his club football with the Brisbane Broncos, with whom he won the 1992 and 1993 NSWRL Premierships.
In 1988 he and Ipswich teammate Langer joined the newly formed Brisbane Broncos to compete in the Winfield Cup premiership.
[citation needed] This connection continued when Steve Walters was injured on the 1991 tour of Papua New Guinea and Kerrod was called up to replace him.
Walters was selected on the bench (brother Steve was the starting hooker while Kevin played five-eighth), but did not take the field in the 14–all draw.
During the 1994 NSWRL season, Walters played at hooker for defending premiers Brisbane when they hosted British champions Wigan for the 1994 World Club Challenge.
Unfortunately for Walters and the Broncos, in front of a record World Club Challenge crowd of 54,220 at their home ground ANZ Stadium, Wigan gained revenge for their 1992 loss by winning 20–14.
When the club folded at the end of 1998 Walters joined Gateshead Thunder in the Super League but returned to Australia midway through the 1999 season after he and his wife were injured in a car accident while on holiday in Thailand.
