Female Footballer - Ellen White, English female international football forward

Ellen Toni White (born 9 May 1989) is an English female international football forward. She currently plays her club football for Arsenal Ladies.

White's father, Jon White, ran a soccer academy called 'Mini Ducks' in Aylesbury, which White played her early football at. She then played football for Aylesbury Town before being spotted by Arsenal Ladies scouts at the age of eight.

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.

White played for England at Under–17, 19, 20 and 23 levels. She made her senior England debut in March 2010 at home to Austria, scoring in the final minute as England won 3-0.
