Former rugby league cult hero Kyle White is being remembered for his fearless mentality and style of play after he died in his sleep on Monday night.
The much-loved rugby league star, who also played in the UK for Workington Town and Widnes and was known for his fierce style of play, has suffered from personal issues since retiring from the sport.
“As most people know he has been dealing with some issues of late but it doesn’t make it any easier.”“He was my idol growing up and we played at all the same NRL clubs and were inseparable through our younger years. Hopefully he finds peace now and the hurting has stopped. He was a tough player on the field and knew how to have a good time off it.Over a 10-year career in the 1990s, White played first grade for the Canterbury Bulldogs, Western Suburbs Magpies and Illawarra Steelers.
White suffered from personal struggles following his retirement, with his family pleading for help after he was reported missing in 2019.Following the announcement of his death, many of his former clubs - as well as rugby league personalities - have shared tributes in his memory. “He helped me once with a fundraiser I organised to finance a pathway at Breakers Country Club golf course when I was the golf club captain.”“The club sends its condolences to his brother Josh – the former London Broncos and Salford half-back – and to all of Kyle’s family and friends,” the Widnes Vikings wrote in a statement.
