Colm Whelan

Colm Whelan (born 29 June 2000) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a striker for League of Ireland Premier Division club Bohemians.

[2] On 7 October 2017, Whelan made his senior debut for Waterford in the final game of the season in a 2–1 loss away to Cobh Ramblers as his side won the 2017 League of Ireland First Division title to gain promotion.

[6] Whelan signed for League of Ireland First Division club UCD ahead of the 2020 season and scored on his debut on 16 February 2020 in a 1–1 draw away to Wexford at Ferrycarrig Park.

[10] On 21 December 2021, following the club's promotion, Whelan turned down offers from elsewhere within the league, to sign a new contract with UCD in order to complete his degree at the college.

[11] Whelan scored 4 goals in 15 games in the first half of the 2022 season, with his performances attracting interest of several English clubs including Lincoln City, but an Anterior cruciate ligament injury suffered in a 1–0 win away to Finn Harps on 13 May 2022 scuppered any move for the striker in the short term.
