[edit] Club career
McLeod began his career at Derby County on August 1, 2002 scoring four goals in 41 appearances. During this time he spent time on loan at First Division club Sheffield United, making seven appearances.
At the beginning of the 2004–05 season he joined newly relegated League One club MK Dons for a reported fee of £150,000.
In early March 2007, the Football League declared him League Two player of the year and he finished that season as League Two's joint top scorer despite missing several games due to injury and suspension. McLeod was named in the PFA League Two Team of the Year for the 2006–07 season.[1]
McLeod joined Charlton Athletic for a fee of £1.1m, which could rise to £1.55m, on a four-year deal on 9 August 2007.[2]
He only scored 1 goal in 18 appearances for the Addicks before he joined Colchester United on loan on February 29, 2008 for 1 month. It was later revealed that Charlton had turned down approaches from League One clubs Crewe Alexandra & Huddersfield Town. However, his loan spell was cut short after he suffered a knee injury in the game against Plymouth Argyle on March 4, 2008, ruling him out for the remainder of the 2007/08 season.[3]
McLeod joined Millwall on loan during the January transfer window in 2009 in an attempt to overcome the injury problems which plagued his Charlton career, scoring 2 goals in 5 appearances. However, after falling out with manager Kenny Jackett[4], it is unlikely that McLeod will play for Millwall again this season.
[edit] International career
In February 2006, he was selected for the England national under-21 football team squad.[5] He played one game for the under-21s, as a 73rd minuite substitute versus Norway's U21 team, on 28 February 2006, at the Madejski Stadium, Reading, Berkshire. England won the game 3–1.[6]
