Bradford (Park Avenue) are pleased to confirm the signing of forward Billy Whaite on a 28-day youth loan from Blackpool Football Club.
Whaite arrives at the Horsfall Community Stadium after signing a professional contract with Blackpool earlier this season, where he has been part of the club’s academy structure following a strong development pathway in the North West.
The striker came through the ranks at Morecambe, where he impressed at Under-18 level and earned opportunities to train with the first team. His progress was rewarded last season with a senior appearance in Sky Bet League Two, before further first-team involvement during pre-season.
Following his move to Blackpool, Whaite has continued his development within the academy environment and now joins Avenue to gain valuable senior experience in a competitive non-league setting.
The forward will link up with Craig Elliott’s squad immediately and will be available for selection at tomorrow’s match vs Bridlington, adding further attacking options as Avenue continue their league campaign.
The club would like to thank Blackpool Football Club for their cooperation in completing the loan and welcomes Billy to Horsfall.
