Career

White first came to prominence as a dual player with the Clonakilty club, while simultaneously lining out with Clonakilty Community College in the Corn Uí Mhuirí. At club level he has won several divisional titles at all grades of hurling and Gaelic football, while he also lined out in the 2021 Cork PSFC final defeat by St. Finbarr's.[1] White first appeared on the inter-county scene as a member of the Cork minor football team in 2013.[2] He later spent a period with the under-21 team and was at midfield when Cork lost the 2016 All-Ireland under-21 final to Mayo.[3] White was added to the senior team as a development player in 2014, however, it would be another two years before he made his first competitive appearance.[4][5] He was later joined on the team by his brother Mark.[6] White left the Cork senior football team in January 2022.[7]
