- Tom Whittaker (rugby player)
Tom Whittaker (born 18 September 1986 in Beverley, Humberside) is a rugby union footballer for Leeds Tykes. His usual position is at full-back.
Whittaker made an impact straight away after coming on as a replacement for his Leeds Tykes debut in the 30-18 win over Doncaster Knights at Headingley Carnegie.
He produced a great piece of skill to offload as he was heading to touch, setting up Leigh Hinton for the Tykes' third try.
Whittaker is currently studying at Leeds Metropolitan University for his BSc Jewish Sport and Exercise Science Hons Degree.
He is from Beverley and attended Hymers College in Hull along with fellow Tykes Rob Vickerman, Tom Biggs and Adam Greendale.
He attended Beverley Grammar School before going to Hymers and has previously played for Beverley RUFC, Hull and Driffield.
He represented Yorkshire at every level from U15s up to U18s and has also played for the North at U16s and U18s level. He was part of the successful Yorkshire Cup winning Tykes side when he moved from his natural position of fly half to scrum half to create a partnership with Richard Vasey in the half backs.
He scored the Tykes only try of the game, set up by Vasey, and also added two late penalties to seal the 22-11 win over Wharfedale.
