Career edit

Waite, Spennymoor Town's 2008–09 player of the year, joined Football League Two club Darlington on 15 January 2010.[3] Darlington manager Steve Staunton expressed his gratitude to Spennymoor Town's chairman Bradley Groves and manager Jason Ainsley for allowing Waite the opportunity to play League football.[4] Waite made his debut against Rotherham United in a 2–1 away win, and his first goal came three games later, at home to Rotherham United.[5] Waite was employed by Staunton as a right winger, although his natural position is in the centre. Waite was released by Darlington in June 2011.[6] He then returned to Spennymoor Town,[7] and later played for Stockton Sunday League club Thornaby Jolly Farmers.[8]
