Kevin McLeod (born 12 September 1980 in Liverpool, England) is a professional footballer, currently playing for Colchester United in the Football League Championship. His preferred position is as a left-sided midfielder.
McLeod is a product of the Everton F.C. Academy. He found his first-team opportunities limited, making only five League appearances for the club, all as a substitute. He subsequently spent two periods on loan with Queen's Park Rangers in 2003 before making a permanent move to the club in August of the same year for a fee of £250,000. He spent much of his time at Queen's Park Rangers on the substitutes' bench, however.
McLeod joined up with former Rangers assistant manager Kenny Jackett at Swansea City in February 2005 for an undisclosed fee.
In 2006, McLeod was transfer-listed for a breach of club discipline and Jackett urged him to leave Swansea.[2] He earned a dramatic lifeline, however, after an injury crisis and slump in form necessitated his return to the team.[3]
To the end of the 2005/06 season, McLeod had played 35 times for Swansea City in all competitions (with a further 11 appearances as a substitute) and had scored seven goals.
He joined Colchester United on August 31, 2006 on a free transfer.
