White, born in Toowoomba, Queensland, was the eldest son of Ray White, who founded the real estate agency of the same name. He attended The Southport School and played first-grade for Brisbane's YMCA club.[2]

Capped nine times for the Wallabies, White debuted on the 1931 tour of New Zealand. He played his early Tests in the back row, before being used as a makeshift prop on the 1933 tour of South Africa for all five Springboks matches.[2]

White served with the Royal Australian Air Force in World War II.[3]
