Walters, who is now preparing for Ireland's World Cup qualifier against Wales in Dublin on Friday, was sidelined after knee surgery to repair damage originally dating back some seven months.
“The knee is extremely good now," reports the 33 year-old crowd favourite. “I actually think I did it on the last day of last season against West Ham.
“Then I tore my Achilles in the summer at the Euros. I came back for pre-season, but didn't play a lot of games and even at the start of the season I didn't play a lot.
“It's been a stop-start year with various things. When I did play it was taking longer and longer to recover, then it ballooned after the Liverpool game (December 26) and Watford (January 3) and I had to go and have a procedure done.
“It's all sorted now. It took time coming back to make sure it was completely right. It was a week, 10 days, before the operation, then probably seven weeks after the operation and it feels really good."
