Wharton started his career at Cardiff City, playing for their under-18 side during the 2011–12 season. His impressive form for the youth team resulted in a first-team call up by manager Malky Mackay for the FA Cup game against West Bromwich Albion, in which he came on as a substitute.[4] Following his debut, Mackay admitted that Wharton would train with first team and had a "big future ahead of him".[5] On 29 March 2012, Wharton signed his first professional contract which would keep at Cardiff until at least June 2014.[6]
