He also played in the South African National Football League for the 1968 title-winning Highlands Park team. Life and careerWhitington was born in Brighton. His football career began as a schoolboy with Arsenal, after which he joined Chelsea's ground staff. While with Chelsea he played for England at youth international level. He signed for Brighton & Hove Albion in 1964, turned professional the same year, and made his debut for the Third Division club in February 1966.[1] In the 1966–67 season, he was the club's joint top scorer, alongside Kit Napier, with ten goals in all competitions,[7] but a perceived lack of pace stopped him establishing himself as a first-team regular. He was released in 1968,[1] and moved to South Africa to play for Highlands Park, who won the National Football League title in 1968.[9] After returning to England, he played for Crawley Town of the Southern League,[10] Folkestone, Eastbourne United,[1] and for Isthmian League club Horsham, where he was the club's top scorer in the 1975–76 season with 25 goals in 42 League games,[12] before finishing his career back at Crawley.[1] Whitington's son Craig also played in the Football League.
