John White (born 25 July 1986, Colchester) is a professional footballer who currently plays for Colchester United.
[edit] Football career
John has come through the youth ranks with Colchester making his first team debut on the 24 August 2004 in the English League Cup against Cheltenham Town. A versatile player, he has played in many positions for the team but is currently settled at left back.
He won the Young Player of the Year award for the 2005/2006 season, the year that the U's were promoted to the Championship. He made 32 appearance for the U's in the league that season, a season's total he is yet to ecclipse.
Despite being out of the team for much of the 2006/07 season, largely due to the good form of Greg Halford, he was given a vote of confidence by the club when they offered him a new contract in June 2007.[1] John was sent on loan to Stevenage Borough on the 22 November 2007 for one-month in order to play some competitive games, his chances having been limited with the U's first team during the first half of the season. The loan spell was a success and on his return he has regularly been selected for the U's.
