International Career

White made his England under-19 debut in March 2009, when he came on as a 73rd-minute substitute against the Czech Republic at Walsall's Bescot Stadium in a 0–0 draw. White decided to change his International allegiance, and declared himself for the Republic of Ireland U21s. He was called up to the U21 squad to play Austria on 10 August 2011. White made his debut for Republic of Ireland U21s starting the match against Austria. Ireland won the game 2–1 with White providing an assist for Robbie Brady. White was again called up to the Ireland U21 squad for friendlies against Hungary and Turkey. He kept his place in the squad for the U21 game against Liechtenstein and managed to score his first goal for Ireland in a 2–0 victory.

Ireland under-21 manager Noel King said that White had been a revelation and that he expected White to break into the full senior squad. After his form for both club and country, White was nominated for under-21 International player of the year at the FAI International Football Awards, with former Leeds teammate Darren O'Dea also nominated for an award. White captained Republic of Ireland U21s to a 4–2 victory against Italy U21s on 10 September 2012.
