Ellen Toni White (born 9 May 1989) is an English international football forward who plays her club football for Notts County Ladies of the FA WSL. White has made over 40 appearances for the England national team since her debut in March 2010, playing at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup. She was also part of the Great Britain team for the 2012 Summer Olympics.
Having progressed through Arsenal Ladies' academy, White returned to the club in 2010 after spells with Chelsea and Leeds United.
White's father, Jon White, ran a soccer academy called 'Mini Dux' in Aylesbury, where White played her early football. She then played football for Aylesbury Town before being spotted by Arsenal Ladies scouts at the age of eight.
Leaving Arsenal aged 16, White was top scorer for Chelsea Ladies for three seasons before leaving to join Leeds Carnegie in June 2008. Within months of signing for Leeds, White suffered a cruciate ligament injury that kept her out of the game for a lengthy spell. In February 2010, White scored twice as Leeds beat Everton Ladies in the final of the FA Women's Premier League Cup.
In July 2010 White was delighted to return to Arsenal after five years away. The Leeds squad had broken up following a funding crisis. White left Arsenal at the end of the 2013 season joining Notts County in time for the 2014 season.
In 2014 White suffered an ACL injury and was out for the entire WSL season, in January 2015 the club confirmed Ellen was back in training.
