In his first season with the North Lincolnshire club, they reached the Division Four play-off final, in which they faced Blackpool at Wembley. The match went to a sudden-death penalty-shootout, in which White, who was a second-half substitute for Tony Daws, sent his effort high over Blackpool goalkeeper Steve McIlhargey's crossbar to hand promotion to the Lancastrians.

Two years later, he was on the move again, this time to Rotherham United making a total of 73 league appearances and scored 22 goals.

Cheltenham Town came in for his services in 2000, and in his three years at Whaddon Road, he made 31 league appearances and scored only one goal, against Leyton Orient. After a loan spell at Mansfield Town, White spent a short spell in Singapore with Sengkang Marine.

White finished his career back in England with Grantham Town.
