Since the sacking of Paul Dickov, Whitehouse failed to make a single appearance under new manager Darren Ferguson for the remainder of the season. After a well deserved draw with Burton Albion, that saw the Brewers promoted to Football League Championship for the first time in their history, Doncaster were relegated to play in League Two for the first time since 2004. It was announced on the 17 May 2016, that Whitehouse had been made available on the transfer list, along with 4 other players; Thorsten Stuckmann, Dany N'Guessan, Gary MacKenzie and Curtis Main.
