Kyle Richard White (born 25 March 2004) is an English professional footballer who plays for Fleetwood Town, as a midfielder.

Career

White was born in Burnley, Lancashire but was raised in Haslingden, Lancashire and attended Haslingden High School in the town.[3] He started playing football for his local side Junior Hoops from the age of five and stayed with the club till the age of fifteen, turning down trials with professional clubs.[4] He subsequently signed for the youth team at AFC Darwen where he won the Lancashire County Cup.[4] It was at Darwen that he was spotted by a scout at Blackpool and he was invited on a six-week trial, however, this proved to be unsuccessful.[4] He subsequently returned to playing youth team football for Darwen and also played men's football for Haslingden St Marys, but the Darwen youth team disbanded in the summer of 2021.[4]

Following his release he signed for North West Counties Football League Division One North side A.F.C. Blackpool for the 2021–22 season, playing for both the under-18 side and first team.[5] He played a part in the FA Youth Cup run playing against West Didsbury & Chorlton and Wrexham and also scored one goal in fourteen appearances for the first team.[5]

On 3 January 2022, he signed for EFL League One side Fleetwood Town on a short-term deal until the end of the 2021–22 season following a successful trial in December, with the club holding the option of a further year.[6] He went straight into the under-18 side managed by Simon Wiles.[6] White made his professional debut for Fleetwood on 6 August 2022, when he came on as a second half substitute for Brendan Sarpong-Wiredu in the 2–1 win over Plymouth Argyle in EFL League One at the Highbury Stadium.[7]
