Having progressed through Arsenal Ladies' academy, White returned to the club in 2010 after spells with Chelsea and Leeds United.
Club career
White's father, Jon White, ran a soccer academy called 'Mini Dux' in Aylesbury, where White played her early football. She then played football for Aylesbury Town before being spotted by Arsenal Ladies scouts at the age of eight.
Leaving Arsenal aged 16, White was top scorer for Chelsea Ladies for three seasons before leaving to join Leeds Carnegie in June 2008. Within months of signing for Leeds, White suffered a cruciate ligament injury that kept her out of the game for a lengthy spell. In February 2010, White scored twice as Leeds beat Everton Ladies in the final of the FA Women's Premier League Cup.
In July 2010 White was delighted to return to Arsenal after five years away. The Leeds squad had broken up following a funding crisis. White left Arsenal at the end of the 2013 season joining Notts County in time for the 2014 season.
In 2014 White suffered an ACL injury and was out for the entire WSL season, in January 2015 the club confirmed she was back in training.
White Left Notts County and signed for Birmingham City Ladies after her contract had expired. Despite being offered a new contract by Notts County, White made the move to the West Midlands, which seemed even more prudent after the latter were disbanded. White scored the winning penalty against Chelsea to take Birmingham to the F.A. Cup final.
England
White played for England at Under–17, 19, 20 and 23 levels. She made her senior England debut in March 2010 at home to Austria, scoring in the final minute as England won 3–0.
After being selected in England's 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup squad, White scored a "wonder goal" in a 2–0 group stage win over Japan, who ultimately won the trophy. White was personally recognised for her scintillating form over 2011, being voted the England Women's Player of the Year.
White was selected for England's UEFA Women's Euro 2013 Squad. However, after scoring England's only goal in the friendly defeat to Sweden leading into the tournament, White was left frustrated by lack of service throughout the tournament as England crashed out at the group stage.
