Charlie Jay Whitaker (born 16 September 2003) is an English professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for EFL League Two side Notts County. [1]
A product of the Everton academy having joined from Blackburn Rovers at the age of 12 years-old, he signed a three-year contract at the club in 2022. [2] [3] Having scored seven goals in nine appearances for the Everton U21 side in Premier League 2 to start the 2024-25 season, he joined Notts County on a free transfer agreeing to a six-month contract on 13 January 2025. [4] That week he was included in their match-day squad for their EFL League Two match against Accrington Stanley and made his debut as a second half substitute in a 3-0 victory. [5]
For the Everton youth side he featured as an attacking midfielder and winger. Upon signing for Notts County, director-of-football Richard Montague described him as "best suited to central attacking areas" but added that he had the versatility to be "comfortable playing out wide". [6]
