White showed promise whilst at the Crewe Kings and his form prompted the Leicester Lions to call on his services in the British League.

He was then signed on a full contract by the Hackney Hawks to ride full-time in the top flight in 1976.

[6][7] After four seasons with Hackney, in the last of which he won the London Riders' Championship,[8] he moved on to the Coventry Bees as well as riding for the Milton Keynes Knights in the National League.

He retired in 1990 after a poor start to the season (due to injuries) with the Long Eaton Invaders.

[9] His father Vic White rode and was often Keith's team manager throughout his career.
