Whitfeld"s batting and bowling styles are unknown. Whitfeld made a single first-class appearance for Sussex against the touring Australians at the County Ground, Hove, in 1878. In this match, Whitfeld was dismissed for a single run in Sussex"s first-innings by Frederick Spofforth, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for a duck by the same bowler.
He later made a second first-class appearance, this time for GN Wyatt"s XI against the Australians at the United Services Recreation Ground, Portsmouth in 1886.
Whitfeld scored 5 runs in the team"s first-innings, before once again falling to the bowling of Spofforth, while in their second-innings he made a single run, before being dismissed by Eugene Palmer. He died at Lewes, Sussex, on 8 January 1924.
