Whelan joined Southend United in the 2000 summer break and was immediately appointed club captain. Commanding in the air and with an excellent sense of timing on the ground, he helped to shore up a defence that had conceded far too many goals in recent seasons. He firstly formed an effective partnership with Leo Roget and later with Carl Hutchings in the centre of the Blues' defence. Whelan opened his goals account at Roots Hall when he netted in the 3-0 win over Rochdale last March.
