Biography
Whelan is a key part of Gary Liddle's side, a solid presence in defence with an eye for a pass. His close-range header in the 2024's 4-1 win over Mickleover was his first goal in a Whitby Town shirt.
A ball-playing centre half, Whelan singed for Whitby Town from Middlesbrough in the summer of 2024.
His career began with hometown club Middlesbrough whom he had been with since the under-15 age group before joining the Seasiders permanently.
Stylish and solid, Whelan has become a key part of Liddle's squad since the manager's arrival in late 2024. His displays in his debut campaign earned him the Players' Player of the Year award.
