Kilpatrick, who has progressed through the club’s Academy system, has been a consistent presence within the youth setup in the 2025/26 season and has earned recognition for his performances and attitude.

His transition into the senior environment reflects both his potential and the hard work he has shown throughout his time at the club.

Over recent months, Kilpatrick has been training regularly with the First Team, integrating well with the senior squad and impressing the coaching staff with his commitment and ability. His development during this period has demonstrated that he is ready to take the next step and compete at a higher level.

Having now signed First Team forms, Kilpatrick becomes eligible for selection and could feature as soon as this weekend’s Pitching In Northern Premier League fixture away at Warrington Town.

Everyone at the club would like to congratulate Jack on this achievement and look forward to seeing his continued progress in a Whitby Town shirt.
