[edit] Club career

Very skillful and creative for a player of his tall frame, he started his club career at Montego Bay Boys Club, and has since played for Violet Kickers, Seba United in his native Jamaica. He was signed on a free by English league side Hull City where he played together with compatriot Ian Goodison until the accident in Jamaica cut short his Hull career. Scottish team Livingston acquired his services in 2003^[2] and in June 2004 he signed for Tranmere Rovers. He had his contract terminated in January 2006 by mutual consent. He returned to Jamaica to become player/coach for Seba United.

[edit] International career

Whitmore made his debut in a November 1993 friendly match against the USA, coming on as a late substitute for Hector Wright and has played 105 international matches and scored 24 goals for the national team^[3]. He has been the Reggae Boyz' midfield general during the second half of the nineties and played at the 1998 FIFA World Cup, where he scored two goals in Jamaica's lone win of the competition against Japan. The same year he was named Caribbean Footballer of the Year. His last international match was also against the USA, a November 2004 World Cup qualifier in which he was substituted himself by Jason Euell.
