Early life

Whyman is of Indigenous Australian heritage, with ancestry from the Wiradjuri and Yorta Yorta peoples.[1] Whyman grew up in Wagga Wagga before moving to Canberra and later Sydney, where she attended Westfields Sports High School.[2] She travelled from Wagga Wagga to both Sydney and Canberra regularly until late 2013 when she moved to the Australian Capital Territory.[3]

Playing career

Club

Whyman's first club in Sydney was Macarthur Rams, joining the club in 2013 whilst still living in Wagga Wagga.[4]

In August 2015, Whyman signed to play for Western Sydney Wanderers in the 2015–16 W-League,[5] and made seven appearances in her debut season.[6] She suffered a torn thigh in a game against Newcastle Jets, causing her to miss much of the season.[7]

International

Whyman was first called up to the Australian under-17 team in 2013 for the 2013 AFC U-16 Women's Championship, aged thirteen.[8]

She made her debut for Australia under-20 in a 2–0 win over Uzbekistan in the group stage of the 2015 AFC U-19 Women's Championship.[9]

She was subsequently selected in a squad for the Senior national team who would be playing two friendlies against France and England in October 2018.[10]

gollark: Come to think of it, it might just be comparing *pairs* via some hashing thing and not be a total ordering, but I doubt it.
gollark: I used highly advanced coding and algorithms™ to try a bunch of algorithms to see if any of them put the list in the right order.
