Last couple of years
Whelan had a spell in Scotland with Hearts after leaving Villa before moving back to the Football League with Fleetwood last term.
Bristol Rovers have made a poor start to the new season and could see him as someone to boost their midfield options.
Whelan has got bags of experience which could come in handy for the Pirates if they decide to sign him.
