White was educated at Queen Mary's Grammar School, Walsall. He later attended Magdalene College, Cambridge. He attended Magdalene College during World War II, during which first-class cricket was suspended and virtually no university cricket took place, meaning White missed out on a Blue. In 1944 he was the university's secretary. With the resumption of first-class cricket in 1946, White made a single first-class appearance in that season for Warwickshire against Derbyshire at Edgbaston. He was dismissed for a duck twice in the match, run out in Warwickshire's first-innings and bowled by Bill Copson in their second-innings. Behind the stumps he took three catches and made a single stumping. This was his only major appearance for Warwickshire. He later made two appearances for Staffordshire in the 1954 Minor Counties Championship against the Lancashire Second XI and the Warwickshire Second XI.

He died on 12 January 2009 aged 84.
