Bio
The Blackburn-born midfielder, who turned 18 at the start of 2022, first started attending the club’s pre-Academy sessions at the age of six, before signing as an Under-8.
Over the past decade, Wharton has risen through Rovers’ youth ranks into the Under-21s and is now a part of Jon Dahl Tomasson's squad.
After impressing in pre-season, Wharton was rewarded with a start in the Carabao Cup wins over Hartlepool United and Bradford City.
An encouraging cameo off the bench in the league game against Stoke City led to a first league start against Blackpool, with the teenager picking up the Man of the Match award in the win over the Tangerines.
