Whitley made his international debut for the Trinidad and Tobago national football team (T&T) on November 15, 2005 in a 2002 FIFA World Cup Qualifier against Panama.

He was absent from the national team for all of 2007 along with other World Cup players due to a dispute over bonuses with the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation.
