He made his senior debut in the 1937 championship before later joining the Dublin senior team. During his career he won three Leinster medals. White was an All-Ireland runner-up on three occasions.
White also represented the Leinster inter-provincial team on a number of occasions, winning one Railway Cup medal. At club level he won two championship medals with Young Irelands after beginning his career with Raharney.
