Daniel Whitehead (born 23 October 1993) is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder for Macclesfield Town, on loan from Wigan Athletic.

Career

Whitehead started his career with Stockport County before joining West Ham United for an undisclosed fee on 20 June 2013.[2] He made his official debut on 5 January 2014 for West Ham against Nottingham Forest at The City Ground in the FA Cup. West Ham lost the game 5–0.[3] This was his only game for West Ham, his contract being terminated on 28 January 2015. [4] On 17 March 2015, Whitehead signed a short-term contract for Accrington Stanley.[5]

Macclesfield Town

After a successful trial period he signed a one-year deal with Macclesfield Town for the Vanarama 2015/16 National League season.[6] He scored his first for the club on 29 August 2015, an opening goal in the 1–2 defeat against Chester, a second half strike on 53 minutes after poor defending allowed Danny Rowe to win possession and a cross that rebounded to Whitehead who smashed a shot from the edge of the area into the bottom right corner of the net.[7] On 6 October 2015, Whitehead scored the 2nd goal in the 44th minute in the 0–3 away victory against Guiseley, a right footed long-ranged shot which bounced and skidded past the keeper.[8] Whitehead scored the opening goal in the 4th minute of the 2–1 away defeat to Dover, goalkeeper Mitch Walker having fumbled a light shot from Kristian Dennis which came to Whitehead who tapped a left footed shot home.[9]

Wigan Athletic

It was confirmed on the 8th January 2016 that Whitehead had signed a two-and-a-half year deal with League One side Wigan Athletic for an undisclosed fee, but would be loaned back to Macclesfield for the remainder of the 2015/16 season. [10]
