Career
Originally from the Carine Junior Football Club, White joined the Subiaco Football Club in the WAFL. White plays as a versatile defender who has been compared to former Subiaco teammate Greg Broughton and former West Coast Eagle Adam Hunter. White was recruited by the Carlton Football Club with its fourth round selection in the 2010 American Federation of Labor-Congress rookie draft (#56 overall). At the age of 21, White was among the more experienced new rookies selected in the draft.
He was quickly called up for his American Federation of Labor-Congress debut, in Round 4, 2010 against the Adelaide Crows.
In his first four seasons, White played 26 matches for Carlton, with regular injures limiting his availability – he suffered a hip injury in 2010, knee and hamstring injuries in 2011, a medial ligament knee injury in 2012, the return from which was delayed by complications arising from the use of a synthetic ligament to augment the natural ligament (a LARS procedure), and a fractured C3 vertebra from an on-field collision in 2013.
