Sophie Whitehouse

Lewes

In July 2022, she moved on a free transfer in the same year that their American-raised goalkeeper Tatiana Saunders moved on to play for Durham. Lewes is a unique team because they offer equal pay to both their female and male teams and their top paid player is a woman.

Charlton Athletic On 20 July 2024, Whitehouse was announced to have signed for Charlton Athletic on a one-year contract. She kept six clean sheets on her way to becoming first-choice goalkeeper in her first season for the Addicks. She was also awarded the Women's Championship Save of the Season award for a 95th minute save in a 1–1 draw against Newcastle United. She signed a contract extension keeping her at The Valley until at least July 2026. She won the WSL2 Save of the Month award for November 2025 for a save against Birmingham City, her second consecutive month winning the award. On 24 March 2026, the club announced she had signed a long-term contract extension until June 2027. She featured in the promotion/relegation playoff on 23 May 2026, where she made four saves during the penalty shootout to help Charlton to win promotion to the Women's Super League.

International career In April 2023, she travelled back to America as part of the national Irish team who were scheduled to play two friendly football matches in the US. On 29 November 2025, Whitehouse made her full international debut in a behind-closed-doors friendly 3–2 win over Hungary in Marbella, Spain.

Other work Whitehouse was part of the motion capture team, providing the goalkeeper actions, for Football Manager 26, the first game of its series to include women's football.
