An emerging talent, he has been an ever-present this season (84.8% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Whitworth.

Judged on this season alone, Whitworth graded 22 — a strong campaign that ranks top 26% of the 35 goalkeepers in the League One, on 11 clean sheets across 39 appearances.

Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

11 clean sheets in 39 appearances (28% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (21st of 24) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 84.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 48.4, Whitworth carries the 6th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the League One (top 18%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Exeter City finished 21st of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
