White's career started at the age of eighteen with Arsenal. In the 1996/97 season White broke into the first team as part of Arsenal's central defence, winning her first trophy that year, the FA Women's Premier League.

The 1997/98 season was a break-out year for White, winning not only the FA Women's Cup and Women's League Cup, but also being named the National Premier League Player Of The Year. White's medal tally grew as Arsenal's winning ways continued, winning the FA Women's cup once more, and the League cup twice more.

However, they failed to win the Premier League title again until the 2000/01 season when the team completed it's second treble, winning all three major domestic titles (Premier League, FA Cup, and League Cup).

In 2002, White was named the Arsenal captain and led Arsenal to a Premier League and FA cup double in both 2003/04 and 2005/06.
