Player Info
Benjamin Whiteman is a 29-year-old English defensive midfielder currently plying his trade for Championship side Preston North End. Born on June 17, 1996, and standing at an imposing 185cm, Whiteman has developed into a key figure in the second tier of English football, with a market value reflecting his importance at €2.5 million. His career began at Sheffield United's academy before a successful loan spell at Doncaster Rovers turned into a permanent move, where he established himself as a midfield linchpin, known for his passing range and set-piece expertise.
