Career



Manchester United


Whelan grew up in the Barnsley village of Hemingfield, and spent the early part of his childhood at the Barnsley Academy.[4] He joined Manchester United at the age of eight, and went on to become one of three players shortlisted for the Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year award in 2017.[5] He signed a new contract with the "Red Devils" in July 2018.[6] On 31 January 2019, he joined League Two side Port Vale on loan until the end of the 2018–19 season.[7] He failed to make it into a match-day squad under new manager John Askey, who felt he was not yet ready for senior football, and the loan was ended early on 2 April.[8]


Watford


In August 2019, Whelan signed a one-year contract at Watford, with the option of a further year.[9][10] He made his first-team debut for the "Hornets" in the fourth round of the FA Cup on 4 January 2020, coming on as a 61st-minute substitute for Domingos Quina in a 3–3 draw with Tranmere Rovers at Vicarage Road.[11] He started in the replay 19 days later, which ended in a 2–1 defeat.[12] However the club confirmed he would not be offered a new contract on 6 August 2020.[13]


Oldham Athletic


On 28 August 2020, Whelan signed a two-year contract at Oldham Athletic after impressing head coach Harry Kewell during a three-week trial period.[14][15] His game time and form improved after Keith Curle replaced Kewell in March.[16] He started 23 league games in the 2020–21 campaign, making a total of 38 competitive appearances.[2] He scored his first career goal on 29 March 2022, in a 2–0 win over Leyton Orient at Boundary Park.[17] Whelan was released by manager John Sheridan following relegation at the end of the 2021–22 season.[18]


Solihull Moors
