High school career


White attended Scots College in Sydney, and was a member of its 2004 premiership winning basketball team.[1] He was named the New South Wales High School Basketballer of the Year during his senior year in 2005.[2]


College career


White redshirted his freshman season while attending San Diego Christian College to recover from a shoulder injury during the 2006–07 season.[2] He transferred to the University of Alaska Anchorage to play for the Seawolves, with whom he played for three seasons.[2]


Professional career


White began his professional career as a development player with the Sydney Kings during the 2010–11 NBL season.[3] Following a season with the Ballarat Miners of the South East Australian Basketball League (SEABL) in 2012, White returned to the Sydney Kings on a full contract.[3] He was named the club's Best Defensive Player during his third and final season with the Kings in 2014–15.[4] During the 2015 NBL offseason, he returned to the SEABL to play for the Hobart Chargers.[5]

On 15 July 2015, White signed with the Illawarra Hawks of the NBL.[4] It marked a reunion with head coach Rob Beveridge, who coached White during his junior career.[4] White served as team captain during his final two seasons with the team.[4][6] He spent the 2016 and 2018 NBL offseasons in the SEABL with the Bendigo Braves and the Rockingham Flames respectively.[7][8] Illawarra elected not to resign White following the 2018–19 NBL season to focus on the development of their younger players.[9]

On 16 May 2019, White signed with the Adelaide 36ers of the NBL.[10] He was named the team's co-captain alongside Brendan Teys for the 2019–20 NBL season.[11] On 15 April 2020, White was released by the 36ers.[12]

On 6 August 2020, White signed with the Perth Wildcats for the 2020–21 NBL season.[13] On 18 August 2021, he re-signed with the Wildcats for the 2021–22 NBL season.[14]

On 17 September 2022, White signed with the Illawarra Hawks as an injury replacement player ahead of the 2022–23 NBL season.[15] He played his 300th NBL game the following month.[16]
