Alan White

Alan White (born 22 March 1976) is an English former professional footballer who made more than 400 appearances in the Football League. Career Born in Darlington, County Durham, White began his career as a trainee at Middlesbrough in 1995, but his only first-team appearance came in the Anglo-Italian Cup. He joined Luton Town in September 1997 for a fee of £40,000, and made over 80 league appearances in three seasons. He had a one-month loan spell with Colchester United in late 1999, and joined that club on a free transfer in July 2000. White made 166 appearances for Colchester in four seasons, scoring four goals, and was voted the club's player of the year in the 2003–04 season. He rejected their offer of a new contract and instead joined Leyton Orient in June 2004 on a two-year deal. However, he was allowed to leave nine months later and joined Boston United in March 2005 on a one-year contract; Boston manager Steve Evans said he was "delighted to get Alan on board. He was outstanding for Colchester United last season and is a great competitor." At the end of his Boston contract in June 2006, White joined Notts County on a free transfer, where he was made club captain. Nine months later, he joined Peterborough United on loan for the remainder of the 2006–07 season, and was one of six players released by Notts County at the end of the season.
