Kevin William Whitley (born August 12, 1969) is a Canadian former international rugby union player.
Whitley was born in Brunei and raised in Australia.[1]
A 6 ft 6 in lock, Whitley was a specialist line-out jumper, who played in Canada for Calgary Irish and Capilano.[2]
In 1995, Whitley gained his solitary Canada cap in a Test against Scotland at Murrayfield. His match ended early when he tore an anterior cruciate ligament late in the first half, taking him out of contention for the upcoming Rugby World Cup.[1][3]
Whitley played overseas with Coventry, Moseley, Rugby Calvisano and Stade Français.[4][5]
