Club Career
Wheelhouse was injured for the majority of the 2006-07 A-League season and made his return against Perth Glory in Round 1 of the 2007-08 season.
Since returning from injury, the often unfairly maligned Wheelhouse has impressed for the Jets, one of the standouts in Newcastle's disastrous 2008-09 A-League campaign, where they plummeted from champions to wooden spooners in one season. Jobe scored one of the great A-League goals of all time in a Round 18 clash with Gold Coast United in season 2009-10. The goal was described by Gold Coast manager Miron Bleiberg as a "Maradona-style" goal.
On 23 September 2011 he was appointed captain of the Newcastle Jets for the 2011–12 A-League season. After playing quite an important role in his captaincy, Jobe Wheelhouse was again appointed the captain of the Newcastle United Jets for the 2012/ 2013 Hyundai A-League Season.
