Jeffrey "Jeff" Whitley (born 28 January 1979 in Ndola, Copperbelt Province) is a Zambian-born Northern Irish former professional football player. He twice won promotion to the Premiership with Manchester City in 2000 and Sunderland in 2005[1] and was a Northern Ireland international. His brother, Jim was also a professional footballer.

Club career

Whitley was a product of the Manchester City youth scheme[2] which he joined as a ten-year-old and began his club career as a trainee in 1996, making over 120 league and cup appearances for the first-team.[3] He had a two-month loan spell at Wrexham in the 1998–99 season.[3] and in March 2002, having fallen out of favour at Manchester City, joined Notts County on loan for the remainder of the 2001–02 season.[4] He had a three-month loan spell at Notts County in the 2002–03 season, returning to Manchester City in January 2003[5] but was released by the club in March 2003 as he did not feature in manager Kevin Keegan's plans.[6]

After a trial[7] and impressing in pre-season, he signed a contract with Sunderland in August 2003.[8] He made over 70 league and cup appearances for Sunderland,[3] helping the club to the Football League Championship play-offs at the end of the 2003–04 season[9] and to the Football League Championship title in 2005.[10] In July 2005, he joined Cardiff City on a free transfer[11] and made 38 league and cup appearances for the club in the 2005–06 season,[12] scoring once against Watford in the league.[13] Whitley joined Stoke City on loan in August 2006[14] but made only four appearances[15] in an unsuccessful loan spell.[16] Cardiff made him available for transfer but he did not take up offers to talk with Millwall and Rotherham[16] and joined Wrexham in February 2007 on loan for the remainder of the 2006–07 season.[17] He scored the winning goal against Bristol Rovers in a 1–0 away victory in March 2007.[18] He was released by Cardiff and signed for Wrexham on non-contract terms in January 2008[19] but was released by Wrexham in May 2008 following the club's relegation to the Football Conference.[20] He joined Northern Premier League Division One North side Woodley Sports in an effort to gain match fitness, before signing for Northwich Victoria on 7 March 2009.[21]

International career

Despite being Zambian born, due to Whitley living in England since he was a child, he was eligible to, and played for the England under-17 team. As his father was born in Belfast, he was also eligible to play for Northern Ireland and made his debut for them in 1997.[22]

Personal life

Whitley has spent time at the Sporting Chance clinic after becoming addicted to alcohol and drugs. It affected him greatly and said "at times I would just be praying just to die".[23] Whitley previously worked as a car salesman in the Stockport area whilst training to become a qualified Counsellor. He now works for Sporting Chance. ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2012/jan/13/sheffield-wednesday-nicky-weaver-manchester-city | work=The Guardian | first=Louise | last=Taylor | title=Sheffield Wednesday the beneficiary of Nicky Weaver's go-ahead surgeon | date=13 January 2012}}
