“It’s a club that really excites me in the way they go about their business on and off the park, and I can’t wait to be a part of it.
“I’ve scored over 100 goals in Scottish football, and I’m determined to add many Premiership goals to that list and be a success.”
White’s nomadic career began at Dunfermline, where he made a single substitute appearance in the Challenge Cup in season 2009-10 before being loaned out to Clyde and Dumbarton later in that campaign. In 2011, White switched to the Irish Premier League, netting once in 13 games for Drogheda United.

Two seasons with the Scottish Championship outfit followed, with the forward failing to net in 17 league and cup appearances.
But White then fared better after switching to Scottish League Two side Stirling Albion, with an impressive 35 goals in 73 gamesbetween 2012 and 2014.
This form attracted the attention of Scottish Championship club Livingston, with the striker finding the net on 31 occasions in his 88 matches for the Lions in a two-year spell.

The following campaign saw White move to fellow National League outfit Barrow AFC, for whom he scored seven times in 44 games.
Most recently White impressed in the Scottish Championship with Inverness, scoring 26 times in 89 league and cup appearances to impress Fir Park gaffer Stephen Robinson, who said: “Jordan can run in behind and cause defenders problems throughout, as well as bringing others into play.”
