White
almost had his career cut short before it had barely got going when he suffered
a career-threatening injury whilst playing for Gateshead under-19s, side-lining
the youngster for over a year.
However,
he recovered to become one of the most influential midfielders in the National
League and feature for England C.
During
his career, White has spent time out on loan at Spennymoor Town, West Auckland
Town, Ashington and Scarborough Athletic.
The 2018/19
season was a breakthrough one for White as he made 44 appearances in all
competitions for the Tynesiders, who were suspended from the National League
due to financial irregularities and then demoted one division.
He has
been linked with moves to Hartlepool United and Carlisle United this summer,
but Rovers managed to sort a deal to bring him to Ewood Park. |
