Career

[edit]

Born in Burton Upon Trent, Leak joined Wolverhampton Wanderers academy at the age of 7[1] staying at the club for 14 years, progressing through the ranks, before making his debut for the U23 side in 2016 in a 3–2 victory over Crewe Alexandra in the EFL Trophy.[2]

He went on to enjoy three loan spells, the first being a short loan to The New Saints in the Cymru Premier,[3] where he made 12 appearances, scoring a solitary goal in a 5–2 victory against Carmarthen Town. After a short unsuccessful loan at AFC Telford United,[4] a third loan spell took him abroad to Spain, where he joined FC Jumilla on a season long loan for the 2018–19 Segunda División B, making 30 appearances.

Leak left Wolves at the end of the 2018–19 season, after 14 years, and joined fellow Segunda División B side Burgos CF, where he played 25 games over the following two seasons.

After leaving Burgos, Leak joined Burton Albion on trial, before signing a two-year deal with the club in July 2021.[5][6]

On 18 July 2022, Leak joined League Two club Salford City for an undisclosed fee, signing a two-year deal.[7] A year later, he signed for Scottish club Ross County.[8] Leak left county on 1 June 2025 after making 58 appearances for the club.[9]

On 21 July 2026, Leak joined League Two club Walsall on a one year deal with the option of a further year. [10]
