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]
Career
[edit]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]
Style of play
