The 21-year-old Welsh defender becomes the second Bucks man to re-sign for new boss Gavin Cowan after skipper Shane Sutton agreed to stay at the New Bucks Head.

Former Wrexham youth player White, signed by former boss Rob Smith from Southport, made 37 appearances for Telford in his first campaign, including 34 starts.

His versatility helped out then-manager Rob Edwards at times, as he filled in different roles along the backline.

Cowan hailed the 'stalwart' stopper. He said: "Ross was a real stalwart in our back line last season and I am pleased to have retained his services for next season.

"It’s a testament to Ross that he was so eager to remain at our club and with a good few games under his belt from last year, we can now take that experience into what we believe will be a successful season for the club."
