Luke Leahy

He signed for Falkirk in the summer of 2012, after trials with Birmingham City, Bradford City and Peterborough United.[5]

He was signed by Steven Pressley originally as an attacking midfielder, despite the fact he had played left-back for Rugby Town the previous season. He made his first team début in the Scottish Challenge Cup against Stirling Albion on 28 July 2012.[6] His league debut came in September against Cowdenbeath at Central Park as a substitute in the 72nd minute of the game.[7] On 10 November 2012, he scored his first goal for The Bairns against Raith Rovers at Stark's Park.[8] However, he would only go on to make three further appearances that season; two of which were from the bench.[9]

Leahy continued to be a peripheral figure under Gary Holt as he struggled to stake a claim for a place in the side; on 7 September 2013, he was even listed as the substitute goalkeeper for Falkirk in their Scottish Challenge Cup Quarter Final against Raith Rovers,[10] as Falkirk didn't have a third choice keeper to put on the bench. He made 23 appearances in all competitions in season 2013/14, most of which were from the bench, and managed a solitary goal; an injury time equaliser against Dundee at Dens Park.[11]

Peter Houston became Falkirk manager in the summer of 2014, just after Leahy had signed a new two-year contract extension. Houston was the first manager to give Leahy a chance to hold down a place in the side. He was on the bench for the first four league games of season 2014/15, but started the 1–1 draw with Queen of the South on 13 September 2014 at left-back,[12] and has since made the position his own. Leahy made 41 appearances in all competitions; he also started the 2015 Scottish Cup Final for Falkirk against Inverness Caledonian Thistle, which they lost 2–1.[13][14] He continued to be a mainstay in the Falkirk team that had a fantastic season finishing 2nd in the 2015/16 Scottish Championship, making 46 appearances across all competitions.[15] On 22 August 2015, he scored what would go on to be voted Falkirk's goal of the season in a 2–1 win against Livingston at Almondvale.[16] On 19 February 2016, Leahy penned a one-year extension with Falkirk, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2017.[17] Leahy left the Bairns in May 2017, following the expiration of his contract.[18]

He was released by Walsall at the end of the 2018–19 season.[19] On 9 July 2019, Leahy joined League One side Bristol Rovers.[20] He made his debut for the club on 3 August 2019, in an opening 2–0 defeat away at Blackpool.[21] He scored his first goal for the club on 10 November 2019, opening the scoring at the back-post in a 1–1 draw with Bromley in the FA Cup first round.[22]

Leahy scored his first league goal for Rovers on the opening day of the 2020–21, converting a penalty in a 1–1 draw away at Sunderland.[23] With the appointment of Rovers' third manager of the season Joey Barton, Leahy was made captain of the club as Max Ehmer lost his armband.[24] On 10 April 2021, Leahy scored his tenth goal of the season to open the scoring in a vital relegation six-pointer against Northampton Town, a game in which Rovers would go on to draw 1–1.[25] Leahy was out of contract at the end of the 2020–21 season, a season that saw Rovers relegated bottom of the league. Despite an offer of a new contract from the club, Leahy opted to leave instead.[26]

On 17 May 2021, Leahy agreed to join Shrewsbury Town, signing a two-year contract from 1 July 2021.[27] He left Shrewsbury Town on 11 July 2023 after handing in a transfer request.[28]

On 11 July 2023, Leahy joined Wycombe Wanderers on a 3 year Contract.[29][30]
