Former Carlisle United loan man Hayden White has made a move to the USA.

The experienced defender has joined American side Indy Eleven.

White, 29, makes the move to Indianapolis after a recent spell with National League side Ebbsfleet United.

It will see the man who played for United in 2014/15 turn out in the USL Championship, which is the second tier of American professional soccer.

Indy Eleven's head coach is Sean McAuley, the former Hartlepool United and Scunthorpe United defender who started his career at Manchester United.

White becomes a fourth English player to join their roster, along with former Southampton academy player Callum Chapman-Page, ex-Stoke City and Cardiff City youth player Laurence Wootton and Leicester-born defender Macauley King.

Irish former Salford City and Watford defender Josh O'Brien is also on the Indy books, as is Scotland Under-19 international midfielder Jack Blake, formerly of Nottingham Forest.

It is the latest move in a winding career for White, who was on Bolton Wanderers' books early in his career when he made a temporary move to Brunton Park.

He joined the Cumbrians on loan in September 2014, signed by caretaker managers Paul Thirlwell and Tony Caig before making his debut in the 3-2 League Two defeat at Mansfield Town which was Keith Curle's first game in charge of the Blues.

White went on to make nine appearances over a two-month spell, which also included a red card in a defeat to Portsmouth.

He has since played for Bury, Notts County and Blackpool on loan, before a permanent spell at Peterborough United, another loan at Mansfield Town, then a permanent switch to the Stags ahead of further moves to Walsall and Ebbsfleet, White spending last season with the latter in non-league's top tier.

Indy Eleven said White's availability is pending league and federation approval, while terms of the deal have not been disclosed.

The team sits fifth in the USL Championship Eastern Conference table after 24 games, with other clubs in the competition including Louisville City, Charleston Battery, Tampa Bay Rowdies and Detroit City.
