Encyclopedia
Kevin Andrew McLeod professional footballer, currently playing for Conference National
side Braintree Town
. His preferred position is as a left-sided midfielder.
Starting his career as an Everton
trainee, by 2000 he made his way into first team contention. Unable to establish himself at the Premier League side he joined Queens Park Rangers
in 2003, following two successful loan spells. After two seasons with QPR, he then spent a season with Swansea City
. In 2006 he moved on to Colchester United
, where he spent another two years before moving on again, this time to Brighton & Hove Albion
. His time at Brighton was rather less successful than at his previous clubs, and he departed in 2010 for a brief spell at Wycombe Wanderers
. As of September 2010 he was playing for Redbridge
in the Ryman One North.
. He found his first-team opportunities limited, making only five League appearances for the club, all as a substitute in the 2000–01 season. These games were both fixtures with Ipswich Town
and Chelsea
, and a home win over Arsenal
. Over the following two seasons he boasted just a cameo FA Cup appearance, and a League Cup
start.
In January 2003 the club rejected an advance by Ronnie Moore
's Rotherham United
, as well as Preston North End
. He subsequently joined Ian Holloway
's Queens Park Rangers
on loan March in 2003. He made eight league starts, scoring a both goals in a 2-0 win over Luton Town
on 12 April, before securing a place in the team for all three play-off games. The play-offs saw QPR conquer Oldham Athletic
2-1 on aggregate, before losing out 1-0 to Cardiff City
at the Millennium Stadium
thanks to a Andy Campbell
extra time
goal. He signed a new one year deal with the Toffees in July 2003, despite interest from Scottish Premier League
side Dundee United
.
He re-joined Rangers on loan at the start of the following season, and after one game the move was made permanent in August 2003 for a fee of up to £250,000 (based on appearances). He scored four times in 39 games that season, however he spent much of his time on the substitutes' bench.
The 2004–05 campaign continued in the same vain for McLeod, and he joined up with former Rangers assistant manager Kenny Jackett
at Swansea City
in February 2005 for an undisclosed fee. This came days after he rejected a £100,000 move to Chester City
. He made eleven appearances for the League Two
club and helped them to a third place finish
and automatic promotion achievement.
McLeod started the 2005–06 in tremendous fashion, scoring seven goals in the club's opening six fixtures. This spell included a brace in a 3-1 win over Barnsley
and a hat-trick
over Bristol City
in his next game two weeks later, both played at The Liberty Stadium
. This led to the club opening contract negotiations with the player as early as October. He quickly lost his shooting form however as he failed to find the net in the rest of the 29 games that campaign. In March 2006, McLeod was transfer-listed for a breach of club discipline (unacceptable drinking sessions
) and Jackett urged him to leave Swansea. He earned a dramatic lifeline, however, after an injury crisis and slump in form necessitated his return to the team. This ended speculation of a move to Southend United
. Sheffield Wednesday
, Colchester, Doncaster Rovers
, Peterborough United
and Chester had also expressed interest in signing the player. His comeback seemed to be ended in late April after he fractured
his ankle
. The Swans made in into the play-off final, however McLeod again ended up at the losing side at the Millennium Stadium as Barnsley won 4-3 on penalties following a 2-2 draw. McLeod only played the second half of extra-time after replacing Andy Robinson
. Despite a bitter loss to their Welsh rivals, McLeod had done well to even make it onto the pitch after recovering from his injury in such a short time.
He joined Championship
club Colchester United
at the end of August 2006 on a free transfer, with Swansea writing off the two extra years he had left on his contract. He played 25 times over all competitions in the 2006–07 season, scoring three goals.
The 2007–08 season saw him limited to thirty matches, and four goals. Two of these came in his final game for the club, in a 3-3 draw at Scunthorpe United
on 4 May 2008. He was the first and last player to score for the club that season, as he had opened the scoring at Sheffield United
on 11 August 2007. The season was a travesty for the club as they were relegated
in last place, fifteen points from safety.
In June 2008, it was revealed the McLeod has turned down the offer of a further two-year contract at Colchester
and the player agreed to join League One
rivals Brighton & Hove Albion
on a free transfer. Assistant manager Dean White
felt that McLeod could have a big season at the club. He scored twice in his first season at Brighton, with strikes against Northampton in the Football League Trophy
and Hartlepool in the FA Cup. However, after many injuries and time spent playing in the reserves due to lack of fatigue and excessive weight, McLeod was released from his contract at Brighton at the end of January 2010. He quickly signed a short-term contract until the end of June 2010 with League One side Wycombe Wanderers
. Making his debut in a 1-1 draw at Brentford
, he played eleven games for the club before being released at the end of the season. He suffered his second relegation, as Wycombe finished five points from safety.
In July 2010 he joined League Two
Aldershot Town
on trial, the next month he joined fellow League Two side Port Vale
on trial, again teaming up with former boss Micky Adams
. He joined St. Mirren
on trial the following month, but again failed to win a contract.
.
