Aidan "Aidy" Peter White (born 10 October 1991) is an English-born Irish footballer who plays as a left back and as a left winger for EFL Championship club Barnsley. White is known for his great pace. He has represented both England U19s and Republic of Ireland U21s at international level.
Born in Otley, West Yorkshire, White started his career at Leeds United in The Championship of the English Football League, joining their youth system in 2002, having attended the Brazilian Soccer Schools scheme for a number of years. He made his debut for the Leeds first team at the age of 16 in a League Cup game against Crystal Palace on 26 August 2008, being given a standing ovation from Leeds fans when he was replaced by substitute Bradley Johnson. White made his league debut in the 2–0 win over Carlisle United on 20 September 2008 and signed a professional contract with Leeds in December, contracting him to the club until June 2012. Having been highlighted as one of 20 future England stars, along with fellow Leeds teammate Fabian Delph in an article in The Guardian in November, injury problems led to White missing much of the later part of the season as Leeds reached the playoffs.
