Whitehouse captained the Sheffield United youth team that reached the final of the FA Youth Cup in the 2010–11 season, only to lose to Manchester United.[6][7] Top scorer for United's youth and reserve teams in 2011–12, with a total of 17 goals,[6] Whitehouse made his first-team debut on 1 January 2013 in a 2–2 away draw against Doncaster Rovers.[8] Having made five appearances during 2012–13,[8] Whitehouse signed a new contract with United in June 2013.[9]

On 12 September 2013, Whitehouse joined League Two club York City on an initial one-month youth loan.[10] He made his debut two days later in a 2–1 home defeat to Mansfield Town.[11] On 11 October 2013, his loan was extended until 5 January 2014, having made five appearances for York.[10][12][13] York opted against extending his loan when it expired,[13] and he finished his spell at the club with 18 appearances.[11] On 22 March 2014, Whitehouse joined Conference Premier club Alfreton Town on loan until the end of 2013–14,[14] his debut coming two days later as a 64th-minute substitute in a 2–0 away defeat to FC Halifax Town.[15] Whitehouse made four appearances for Alfreton before returning to Sheffield United at the end of the season,[15] only to be released when his contract expired.[16]

Notts County

On 6 August 2014, Whitehouse signed for League One club Notts County on a one-year contract, after impressing on trial by scoring three goals in pre-season.[17] He joined Conference Premier club Nuneaton Town on 31 January 2015 on a one-month loan[18] and debuted the following day in a 1–0 defeat away to Forest Green Rovers.[15] He made five appearances for Nuneaton, and after returning to County scored his first goal for the club on 21 March 2015 in a 4–1 away defeat to Milton Keynes Dons.[19] Having made eight appearances and scored one goal for County in 2014–15,[19] he was released by the club in May 2015.[20]

FC Halifax Town and Nuneaton Town

Whitehouse signed for National League club FC Halifax Town on 28 May 2015.[21] He made his debut in a 3–1 away defeat to Boreham Wood on 8 August 2015.[15] He had made four appearances for Halifax[15] when he signed for National League North club Nuneaton Town for an undisclosed fee on 4 September 2015.[22]

Lincoln City

Whitehouse signed for National League club Lincoln City on 20 October 2016 for an undisclosed fee.[23] He finished 2016–17 with 34 appearances and 6 goals[15] as Lincoln were promoted to League Two as National League champions.[24] Whitehouse scored the only goal as Lincoln beat Shrewsbury Town 1–0 at Wembley Stadium on 8 April in the 2018 EFL Trophy Final, with a close-range shot in the 16th minute.[25]

Grimsby Town

Whitehouse was offered new contract by Lincoln at the end of the 2017–18 season[26] but instead signed for their local rivals and fellow League Two club Grimsby Town on 15 June 2018 on a two-year contract.[27] Whitehouse suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament injury during pre-season training in July 2018, meaning he would miss the full 2018–19 season.[28]

Forest Green Rovers

On 10 August 2020, Whitehouse signed for Forest Green Rovers on a two-year deal.[29]

International career

Whitehouse made his debut for the England national C team on 5 June 2016 in a 4–3 home defeat to Slovakia under-21s in the 2015–17 International Challenge Trophy.[30] He scored his first goal on 16 November 2016, with a seventh-minute header in a 2–1 away win over Estonia under-23s, a result that meant England reached the International Challenge Trophy final as group runners-up.[31][32]
