Joe Sydney Leesley (born 29 March 1994) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger for National League North club Darlington.
He previously played in the Football League for Stevenage and has played for England C, the team that represents the country at non-league level.
Born in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, Leesley spent his early career with Winterton Rangers,[3] Matlock Town, Alfreton Town, Harrogate Town and Stockport County,[2] moving on loan to Stevenage on 6 January 2020.[4] He made his debut two days later in the EFL Trophy.[5] In November 2020 he moved on loan to Boston United.[6][7] 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.[8]
On 1 August 2022, Leesley signed for Boston United on a permanent deal having left Harrogate Town.[9] In October, he joined league rivals Darlington on loan for a month.[10] 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.[11] 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.[12] After his time with the club was disrupted by injury, he left by mutual consent in February 2024.[13]
On 1 April 2024, Leesley joined National League North club Scunthorpe United on a short-term deal until the end of the season,[14] but made no first-team appearances.[2] He rejoined Darlington on a one-year contract on 24 May 2024.[15]
