Club career edit
Gateshead edit
After playing for a boys clubs with future Blackburn teammate Adam Armstrong and youth football for Carlisle United, he signed for Gateshead at the age of 18.[2] His time with Gateshead was hindered by injury, and in 2016 the club initially withdrew their offer of a professional contract due to his injuries.[3] He remained with the club to use their training facilities as he recovered,[3] and he also spent loan spells at Spennymoor Town (signing for them in January 2017[4]), West Auckland Town (signing for them in September 2017[5]), Ashington (signing for them in November 2017[6]) and Scarborough Athletic (signing for them in January 2018[5]). During this time he relied on borrowing money from his parents for petrol so he could get to training.[3] The 2018–19 season was a "breakthrough" for him at the club as he made 43 league appearances for them that season.[3]
Blackburn Rovers edit
He signed a two-year contract with Blackburn Rovers in July 2019.[7][8][9] At Blackburn he initially played with the under-23 team,[3] before moving on loan to Barrow in November 2019.[10][11][12] In January 2020 he extended the loan until the end of the season,[13] and later that month recovered from a chest infection.[14] The loan deal had ended by 22 April 2020.[15]
On 28 July 2020 he moved on loan to Bolton Wanderers for the 2019–20 season.[16] His debut came on 5 September in Bolton's first match of the season, a 1–2 home defeat against Bradford in the first round of the EFL Cup.[17] His league debut came on 12 September in Bolton's first league match of the season, a 1-0 home defeat against Forest Green Rovers.[18] On 2 February 2021, his loan spell came to an end and he returned to Blackburn.[19] On 5 February 2021, White signed for National League side Hartlepool United on a short-term loan deal.[20] The loan was then extended until 15 May 2021.[21]
On 14 May 2021 it was announced that he would leave Blackburn at the end of the season, following the expiry of his contract.[22] On 8 June 2021 it was announced that he would re-sign for Barrow on a permanent contract after that time.[23][24]
