White also made a temporary switch to Derbyshire during the latter stages of the 2014 season, taking 11 wickets in four LV= County Championship Division Two games.
He has struck over 2,500 runs and taken 166 wickets in 76 first-class outings while also making 118 limited-overs appearances.

Derbyshire elite performance director Graeme Welch said: “Wayne is a talented home-grown player who has gone away and furthered his experience in county cricket.
“He bowled very well at key times during his loan stint last season and his spell against Surrey was one of the best all season.
“He’s a player who will strengthen our bowling unit and now has a golden chance to really fulfil his potential back at his home county.”
White, who was part of Leicestershire Foxes’ side that won the Friends Life t20 in 2011, made the move to Lancashire in 2013 and snared 16 scalps in 10 first-class matches for the club.
Lancashire director of cricket Ashley Giles said: “We’d like to thank Wayne for his contribution to Lancashire and wish him well for the future.”
