Whiteman began his hockey career at Harleston Magpies [1] but gave up hockey while he taught and travelled in India. He returned to play club hockey in the Men's England Hockey League for Beeston and won three league titles with the club. [2]
Whiteman made his England debut in 2014 [3] and participated in the 2014 Men's Hockey World Cup but missed the 2014 Commonwealth Games [4] due to a broken thumb injury sustained during the World Cup. [5]

While playing at the end of the 2019 season he suffered a blow to his left eye, which caused a brain injury and required a six months recovery period before returning to his job as a politics and history teacher. [6]
