Club career

In August 2015, Whyman signed to play for Western Sydney Wanderers in the 2015–16 W-League, [6] and made seven appearances in her debut season. [7] She suffered a torn thigh in a game against Newcastle Jets, causing her to miss much of the season. [8]

In August 2024, Whyman left Sydney FC at the end of her contract and joined Swedish club AIK until the end of the 2025 season. [9] [10]

International career

Whyman was first called up to the Australian under-17 team in 2013 for the 2013 AFC U-16 Women's Championship, aged thirteen. [11]
