Career

WNBL

In 2017, Whittle ventured north after signing her first WNBL contract with the Townsville Fire for the 2017–18 season.[3] There, Whittle played under Claudia Brassard, however her season was largely disrupted due to injury and she did not take to the court all season.

In May 2018, Whittle returned to her home state after signing with the Bendigo Spirit for the 2018–19 season.[4] In 21 games for Bendigo, Whittle averaged 7.2 points and 4.0 assists per game.[5] During the 2019 off-season, she played for the Knox Raiders in the NBL1.[6]

In April 2019, Whittle signed with her third WNBL team in as many years after joining the Perth Lynx for the 2019–20 season.[7] At the 2020 Perth Lynx Club Awards Night, Whittle was recognised as the Most Improved Player for the season.[8]

In July 2020, after a career-best season in Perth, Whittle signed with the Adelaide Lightning for the 2020–21 season.[9]
