Career
Born in Liverpool,[1] Whitehall spent his early career with Liverpool and Rochdale.[3] He joined Rochdale at under-18 level following his release from Liverpool.[4]
He began his senior career with Southport, moving to Marine in September 2014.[3] He moved on to Prescot Cables in November 2014.[5]
Whitehall then spent time in the United States,[6] playing college soccer for SIU Edwardsville Cougars and Hastings College, and at club level for Chattanooga FC and Bugeaters FC.[7][8][9] At Hastings he won a number of awards and set several records,[2][10] scoring 93 goals in 75 games.[11]
He returned to England in July 2019 with Maidenhead United,[9][12] moving to Scottish club Kilmarnock in July 2020 on a six-month contract.[13] He made his debut as a substitute against Hibernian on 1 August 2020.[14] On 8 January 2021, Whitehall extended his contract at Kilmarnock, signing a new deal until the end of the season.[15] He left Kilmarnock at the end of the 2020–21 season.[16]
In August 2021 he signed for Eastleigh.[17]
He was offered a new contract by Eastleigh at the end of the 2022–23 season,[18] instead opting to join recently relegated National League North club Scunthorpe United on a two-year deal active from the expiration of his contract.[19] Following promotion at the end of the 2024–25 season, Whitehall signed a new two-year deal.[20]
