Career

The previously active in the Birmingham Combination White belonged to the squad of West Bromwich Albion as an amateur from March 1923 and subsequently appeared for their reserve team, but was handicapped by a broken ankle. For the 1924/25 season, White , who could be used in the half-forward positions , came to Newport County as a professional , and his brother Tom White had also been part of the squad since 1922 . In the course of the season mostly Jimmy Gittins , Tommy Lowes and Fred Forward were called up as strikers; Harry White played on December 27, 1924 in a 3: 4 away defeat by Queens Park Rangers as a left half-forward his only game in the Football League Third Division South and scored one goal. A month later, in a reserve game against Taunton United , he broke his kneecap while scoring a goal in a collision with the opposing goalkeeper . At the beginning of the following season, White was still part of Newport's 23-strong professional squad.

White subsequently suffered from a lung disease that initially forced him to end his footballing career and from which he died at the age of 22 in West Bromwich in mid-1926.
