Career

[edit]

Leesley was born in Sheffield, South Yorkshire.[2] He was on the books of Doncaster Rovers from the age of 10, but was not given a scholarship when he reached 16.[3] He spent his early career with Winterton Rangers,[4] Matlock Town, Alfreton Town, Harrogate Town and Stockport County,[2] moving on loan to Stevenage on 6 January 2020.[5] He made his debut two days later in the EFL Trophy.[6] In November 2020 he moved on loan to Boston United.[7][8] In June 2021, after Leesley agreed a season loan to Boston United, Harrogate manager Simon Weaver said he would be unlikely to play for his parent club again.[9]

On 1 August 2022, Leesley signed for Boston United on a permanent deal having left Harrogate Town.[10] In October, he joined league rivals Darlington on loan for a month.[11] After an impressive seven-match spell during which he demonstrated versatility and leadership, both he and Darlington wanted to extend the loan, but Boston would only allow him to leave for a fee, which put him out of their reach.[12] Leesley signed for another National North club, Kidderminster Harriers, on 18 November 2022, on a contract to run until the end of the 2023–24 season.[13] After his time with the club was disrupted by injury, he left by mutual consent in February 2024.[14]

On 1 April 2024, Leesley joined National League North club Scunthorpe United on a short-term deal until the end of the season,[15] but made no first-team appearances.[2] He rejoined Darlington on a one-year contract on 24 May 2024,[16] but was unable to establish himself in the first team,[2] and signed on a month's loan for Northern Premier League Premier Division club Worksop Town on 15 November.[17]
