Career
Waite, Spennymoor Town's 2008–09 player of the year, joined Football League Two club Darlington on 15 January 2010. 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. 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. 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.
