Jérôme Leroy (born November 4, 1974 in Béthune, France) is a French footballer currently playing for Sochaux as a midfielder.
Leroy moved to Lens from PSG in the summer of 2004.
Other clubs he has played for include Laval from 1995-1996, Marseille 1999-Jan 2002, and Guingamp 2003-2004.
In 1996 Leroy won the Cup Winners Cup with Paris St. Germain. In 2003 he reached the French Cup Final also with PSG.
[edit] Stint in Israel
Luis Fernandez, Leroy's former mentor at Paris St-Germain brought him to Teddy in December of 2005 from French club RC Lens beating off competition from French giants Marseille.
During Leroy's short time in Israel he became an icon of the hopes and aspirations for the club that the fans had. In his league debut against rivals Bnei Sakhnin, the television announcers were stunned to see a player with such technique play for Beitar. Though the match ended in an altercation between fans and a 0-0 result, fans were optimistic that Leroy was going to become the savior they had always dreamed of.
On June 25, 2006 Beitar Jerusalem took off from Ben Gurion International Airport on an El Al flight to Amsterdam then by bus to Arnhem, Holland for preseason training. Leroy chose not to join the team opting to check options of staying in France for the 2006/07 season[1]. Sochaux made it clear that they were interested in Leroy and a deal was worked out between Beitar Jerusalem and Sochaux.
