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 will keep at Cardiff till at least 2014.[6]

Wharton was called up to the Wales under-21 team to play Moldova on 22 March 2013.[9] On 9 September 2014, Wharton made his Wales under-21 debut in a 1–1 draw against Lithuania under-21s.[10]

In 2016, Wharton chose to switch allegiance to play for Saint Kitts and Nevis, the country where his grandparents were born. He made his debut for the side on 13 November 2016 in a 2–0 defeat to Haiti.[11]
