AFL career

After the conclusion of the 2024 AFL season, White was invited to train for one of two spots on Carlton's AFL list through the pre-season supplemental selection period.^[4] He initially failed to be selected, with the spots going to Matt Carroll^[5] and Francis Evans,^[6] but after multiple long-term injuries during pre-season practice matches, including one to Carlton's Jagga Smith, the AFL re-opened the pre-season supplemental selection period so that clubs could replace their injured players,^[7] and through this, White received a list spot.^[8]
