Whitehouse joined Leeds from League Two club Doncaster in the summer of 2016 after signing a one-year contract.
But the creative midfielder was not given a new deal that would have enabled him to return for a second year at Elland Road and was released when his contract expired last June.
He then joined non-league outfit Alfreton Town, before heading to Shaw Lane last September.
OPINION
Whitehouse is clearly a player with itchy feet, as he never seems to last anywhere too long. Tadcaster, who play in the eighth tier of English football, are his third club of the season and the sixth he has represented in the last 18 months. All are based in Yorkshire, as his tour of the county continues apace. Leeds supporters only saw Whitehouse in action on one occasion for the senior side, as he spent the majority of last season with Jason Blunt’s development squad following an unsuccessful loan spell at non-league Guiseley. He sole senior appearance came when manager Garry Monk selected a weakened team against Sutton United in the FA Cup, but that ended in embarrassment when they crashed out of the cup at the fourth-round stage. Whitehouse should put his Elland Road failure behind him now. He needs to put down some roots if he is to realise his undoubted potential.
