Jamie Andrew White (born 17 November 1989) is an English professional footballer, currently playing for Southampton.

Playing career

Born in Southampton, White attended Woodlands Community College, having joined the Southampton F.C. Academy as an eight year old. He began to play regularly for the Club’s youth setup in 2005 after a brief spell at Chelsea.

White featured in the FA Youth Cup semi-final in 2005-06, as well as the Academy League play-offs where he scored the opener after coming off the bench against Blackburn Rovers in the semi-final to set Saints on their way to the Championship.

He was the winner of the 2006–07 Academy Player of the Year award, but had to accept his prize on crutches, after suffering a cruciate injury whilst training with the first team in March 2007. Despite his injury, White was still able to claim that season’s top scorer prize for the Under 18s side and made a full recovery in 2007–08.

Following a strong pre-season, White was named on the bench for the Carling Cup tie against Exeter City, and went on to make his first team debut against Derby County on 23 August 2008.
