Leon McSweeney (born 19 December 1983 in Cork, Ireland) is an Irish footballer who currently plays for Stockport County.

[edit] Career

McSweeney began his career with hometown club Cork City, quickly gaining a move to Leicester City in 2001 when still a teenager. McSweeney failed to make a first-team appearance, and in 2003 was released, soon signing a contract with Scarborough. There he made four substitute appearances, but left later that year for Hucknall Town, where he spent half a season before moving to Hednesford Town in 2004. He had a successful season with The Pitmen, scoring 14 goals and helping them gain promotion. However, he couldn't agree a new contract with the club and so moved back to Hucknall Town in the summer of 2005, only to return to Hednesford again in December[1]. The following summer McSeeney moved to Ilkeston Town, where he spent one season before moving back home and playing for Cork City in the FAI League of Ireland. At the end of the Irish 2007 season, despite interest from Bohemians he crossed the Irish Sea again, signing an 18-month contract with Stockport County[2].
