Sturt (SAFL/SANFL)

Whitehead played at Sturt with his brother Reg and they were both followers in the 1926 premiership winning team.[3] He was club captain in the 1928 season.

A ruckman, Whitehead kicked 16 goals from the 11 interstate games which he played for South Australia, including matches at the 1927 Melbourne Carnival and 1930 Adelaide Carnival.[3]

St Kilda (VFL)

In 1932 he returned to Melbourne to spend a season with St Kilda, but resigned in early August, citing his dissatisfaction at having been demoted to the reserves.[4]

Sturt (SANFL)

He finished his career back at Sturt, where he played for two more years.

gollark: No, you need more if you have mods.
gollark: Hmm. After *extensive* research I still have no idea where aiolog could possibly have gotten a free ARM server with those specs which appears to be thingied to Oracle Cloud's network.
gollark: Use MultiMC instead?
gollark: No.
gollark: Waaaait. Most proxying things won't forward ICMP because that would be stupid. So the ARM machine is actually within the Oracle Cloud network somehow or olog is deliberately being tricky with that "ping" there.
