ST KILDA forward Spencer White has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a wrist injury.

White will undergo surgery to his wrist and will not play again this year.

The 18-year-old was taken with pick 25 at last year’s NAB AFL Draft, immediately after teammate Nathan Wright at pick 24.

White has spent the entire year playing for St Kilda’s VFL affiliate Sandringham.

He is expected to return in time for the start of St Kilda’s 2014 pre-season.
