Adam Whitelock

In 2014 Whitelock was called into the All Blacks Sevens after receiving high praise in regards to his fitness from coach Sir Gordon Tietjens.

Whitelock announced in 2014 that he was leaving New Zealand to take up a contract in France with Aviron Bayonnais.

In a remarkable occasion in professional sport teams all four Whitelock brothers played together for the first time in a competitive match in March 2013 (vs. Bulls). Other than a preseason match at the beginning of the previous season this was the first time playing together since playing for Fielding High School in 2003. The brothers would play a further 17 games together at their time with the Crusaders.

Whitelock made his Crusaders debut against the Brumbies in 2009. His first try for the Crusaders was a crucial try from a brilliant pass from Leon MacDonald which led to the Crusaders overcoming the Stormers 11-7.

Whitelock debuted for the Canterbury team in 2008 as a 22 year old against Wellington. He would go onto play 56 games for Canterbury playing a staple role in the team. Despite being in the reserves in the final of the 2008 Air New Zealand Cup (now Mitre 10 Cup), Whitelock and the Canterbury team would go on to win the title for the next 5 years setting a new precedent in NPC history.

Adam was the first of the brothers to move to Christchurch, moving to study accounting at the University of Canterbury in 2006.
