We are delighted to announce that Kyle White has signed a new contract with the club for the 2026/27 campaign.

Ian Richards signed Kyle back in January following his release from Waterford in Ireland where he had spent the previous 18 months.

The full back will now spend his first full season with the club after signing his new deal.

The 22 year-old made 11 appearances and struck his first Lions goal, which proved to be our last strike of the 2025/26 season, on the final day at Ashton United to earn his side a draw.

Kyle was born in Burnley and was spotted by Fleetwood Town and spent two and a half years with the Codheads making six first team appearances.

White started his career with AFC Darwen’s youth team before moving on to AFC Blackpool in 2021.

Whilst with AFC Blackpool Kyle played for both their youth and first teams before making the move to Highbury in January 2022.

He initially started out as a midfielder with Fleetwood before moving to play left back, he initially played for Town’s U18s and U21s sides where he impressed then first team manager Scott Brown.

Brown handed Kyle his professional debut in a 2-1 home win over Plymouth Argyle in League One, he also made league appearances against Bolton and Ipswich in the 2022/23 season.

During the same campaign the full back was brought on in the Carabao Cup against Everton and Wigan Athletic and Barrow in the Vertu Trophy.

White joined Fleetwood’s sister club Waterford in July 2024 having scored against them in pre-season a year earlier.

More player retentions ahead of the 2026/27 season will follow in the coming days.
