Leo Alexander Francis Castledine (born 20 August 2005) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for League One club Shrewsbury Town, on loan from Premier League club Chelsea.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Kingston upon Thames, where he lived only 15 minutes away from the Cobham Training Centre, Castledine started his career with Chelsea, who he had supported growing up.[3] He spent two years with Chelsea before moving to AFC Wimbledon at the age of seven.[3] Growing up, he also played rugby, and was enrolled in the elite academy of professional club Harlequins.[3]

Initially beginning his career with Wimbledon in a more defensive role, he moved up the pitch to operate as a midfielder.[4] Settling into his new role well, he was involved in Wimbledon under-18's pre-season tour of Italy, playing alongside players four years his senior, and went on to make his under-18 debut in 2019 - becoming the youngest Wimbledon player to ever do so.[4]

A year later, in March 2020, he rejoined Chelsea, naming Mason Mount and Jack Grealish as his favourite current players.[4][5] He signed his first professional contract with The Blues in August 2022, on his seventeenth birthday, and has already been called up to train with the first team.[3][6]

Castledine made his senior debut for Chelsea as a substitute in a 6–1 EFL Cup semi-final second-leg win over Middlesbrough on 23 January 2024.[7]

On 26 August 2024, Castledine joined League One side Shrewsbury Town on a season-long loan deal.[8]

International career

[edit]

Castledine has represented England at under-15, under-17 and under-18 level.[2]

On 15 November 2023, Castledine scored on his England U19 debut during a 6–0 win over Romania in Marbella.[9]

Personal life

[edit]

He is the son of former Wimbledon footballer, and television presenter, Stewart Castledine, as well as former Homes Under the Hammer host Lucy Alexander.[3][10] Leo has an older sister, Kitty, an actress who currently stars in EastEnders.
