Premier League goalkeeper retires at 26 after rejecting Championship club and embarks on new career
"A first-team debut came in November 2020, when he replaced Joe Hart for the closing stages of a Europa League match against Ludogorets Razgrad. That would prove to be his only senior appearance for Spurs, but the home-grown 27-year-old was a part of the club's Europa League-winning squad last season, earning himself a winners' medal following the victory over Manchester United in the final."
"But rather than seek out a new club, amid reported interest from Championship sides, Whiteman has opted for a career change. He has now announced that he is working as a director and photographer, signing with production company Somesuch. This comes after he has hosted a monthly radio show on NTS, while for the former stopper also has a popular profile on film-review app Letterboxd."
Alfie Whiteman joined the Spurs academy at ten and progressed through the youth ranks, signing a three-year deal in 2019. He made his first-team debut in November 2020 as a late substitute for Joe Hart in a Europa League match against Ludogorets Razgrad, which remained his only senior appearance. The home-grown 27-year-old earned a Europa League winners' medal after Tottenham's victory over Manchester United. He left Spurs at the end of his contract and declined reported interest from Championship clubs, opting instead for a career in directing and photography with production company Somesuch. He has hosted a monthly NTS radio show and maintains a profile on Letterboxd.
