Club career

Manchester City

After appearing in the Republic of Ireland's World Youth Cup campaign in November and December, he returned to Bury on another one-month loan on 24 December 2003.


Whelen joined Sheffield Wednesday on a free transfer in the summer of 2004. He was vital in securing a play-off place for the club, starting a total of 41 games and scoring four goals.

Whelan was voted "man of the match" in the League One play-off final against Hartlepool at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff after scoring the game-winning third goal for Wednesday. After Wednesday won promotion to the Championship Whelan was trialled as captain by Paul Sturrock after club captain Lee Bullen was injured.

In July 2006, Whelan was placed on the transfer list by Sturrock following increased competition for places in the Wednesday midfield after the arrival of Wade Small, Kenny Lunt and Yoann Folly. He was subsequently removed from the transfer list by the following manager Brian Laws.Whelan repaid the faith shown in him with seven goals, most notably "screamers" against Leicester, Southampton & Luton. He then went on to win a number of 'Player of the year' awards for the club's 2006–07 season.
