Career edit

Dagenham & Redbridge edit

White began his career in the youth academy at Dagenham & Redbridge,[4] where he was described as a "prolific goalscorer".[5] He progressed through the youth system at Dagenham before being involved in several first-team match-day squads whilst also a second-year academy scholar.[2] White made his first-team debut in a 2–1 defeat to Halifax Town in the FA Cup on 15 November 2016, appearing as a 90th-minute substitute.[6] He signed his first professional contract in December 2016, with the deal running until the summer of 2018.[4]

After making three first-team appearances for Dagenham during the first half of the season,[2] White was loaned out to National League South club Wealdstone on 9 February 2017, in order to gain match experience, for the remainder of the 2016–17 season.[5] He made his Wealdstone debut two days after joining, playing the whole match in a 1–1 home draw with Oxford City.[7] White scored his first goal for Wealdstone on 28 February 2017, opening the scoring from close range in a comfortable 3–0 away win at St Albans City.[8][9] The goal served as the catalyst for a run of five goals in seven matches for White;[2] included in this were three successive 2–1 away victories in which White scored the decisive goal in each match.[10][11][12] He made 21 appearances in all competitions during the loan agreement, scoring seven times, before returning to Dagenham upon the expiration of the loan deal.[2]

Having made two first-team appearances for Dagenham at the start of the 2017–18 season,[13] White signed a new three-year contract extension with the east London club on 31 August 2017.[14] Dagenham manager John Still stated the contract extension was down to White's "rapid improvement" and that it was a reward for his hard work.[14] In Dagenham's next match, White scored his first goal for the club in a 3–1 home victory over Gateshead on 2 September 2017.[15] He did not play for Dagenham thereafter because of injury,[13][16] and subsequently joined Isthmian League Premier Division club Hendon on a one-month loan deal on 9 January 2018 in a bid to regain match fitness.[17] White made his competitive debut for Hendon in a 3–0 defeat to National League opposition in the form of Sutton United in the FA Trophy on 14 January 2018.[18] In the club's next match, a Middlesex Senior Cup quarter-final, he scored five goals in a 9–1 home victory against Spelthorne Sports.[19][20] He scored six times in six appearances during the loan agreement as he was recalled by Dagenham a week early ahead of a proposed move ahead of the January transfer deadline.[21][22]

Stevenage edit

White joined League Two club Stevenage on 31 January 2018, signing for an undisclosed fee and on a 2+12-year contract.[23] Stevenage chairman Phil Wallace stated the club had previously tried to sign White several times and also urged White to "learn his trade" from fellow striker Alex Revell.[24] He made his Stevenage debut on 17 February 2018, coming on as a 90th-minute substitute in the club's 4–1 victory against Yeovil Town at Broadhall Way.[25]

Ahead of the 2018–19 season, on 24 July 2018, White returned to Wealdstone on a 28-day loan contract.[26] Having scored once in his opening five appearances at Wealdstone, the loan was extended for a further 28 days on 22 August 2018.[27] White returned to Stevenage upon the conclusion of the loan and subsequently joined Biggleswade Town of the Southern League Premier Division Central on 19 September 2018, on a three-month loan deal.[28] The loan agreement was extended for the remainder of the 2018–19 season in December 2018.[29] White scored 23 goals in 34 appearances in all competitions during his time at Biggleswade, finishing as the club's top goalscorer for the season.[30] He rejoined Biggleswade on loan on 15 July 2019,[31] scoring 13 times in 23 appearances during the first half of the 2019–20 season.[32]

Hendon edit

White rejoined Southern League Premier Division South club Hendon for an undisclosed fee on 8 January 2020.[33] The transfer meant White would be playing under manager Lee Allinson, who had managed him during his two loan spells at Biggleswade Town.[33] He scored nine times in nine matches before Hendon's season was curtailed because of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020.[32] After scoring five times in 12 appearances during the opening months of the 2020–21 season, the Southern Football League season was curtailed again because of restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.[32] White signed a new one-year contract with Hendon on 6 May 2021,[34] scoring 18 times in 35 appearances during the 2021–22 season.[35] He was made captain during Hendon's 2023–23 season, finishing as the club's top goalscorer with 17 goals in 47 appearances.[32][36] He signed a new one-year contract with the club on 4 May 2023.[36]
