Playing career

In round 22 2021, Whyte made his NRL debut for the Sydney Roosters against the Brisbane Broncos at Suncorp Stadium in a 21–20 win. Whyte re-signed with the Roosters club until the end of 2024. Whyte played nine matches for the Sydney Roosters in the 2023 NRL season as the club finished 7th on the table and qualified for the finals.[2] On 21 May 2024, the Sydney Roosters hit back at claims that Whyte had been taking illegal substances on a live stream along with fellow players Brandon Smith, Zach Dockar-Clay, Terrell May and Spencer Leniu. The club released a statement which read “The Sydney Roosters have been made aware of a small clip from a longer live stream that some on social media have claimed identifies behaviour that breaches NRL rules. “The clip reveals no use of illicit substances or any other breach of NRL rules, however some see fit to make that grossly distorted and clearly damaging claim".[3]
