About Ray Leahy

My name is Ray Leahy, and I am a highly experienced football scout with a proven track record of identifying and nurturing top football talent. 

Currently working with Crystal Palace Football Club, I have dedicated my career to discovering young players and helping them realise their potential at the highest levels of the game.

With a deep understanding of player development and a sharp eye for talent, I have had the privilege of working with some of the best clubs in football. My career spans over several years, including six years at Manchester United, where I scouted and helped develop players who went on to achieve professional careers. I have also held scouting roles at Brighton & Hove Albion, contributing to the discovery of future stars at both clubs.

Over the years, I have successfully placed numerous players into professional clubs, helping to shape their careers and providing them with the opportunity to compete in elite academies. My passion lies not only in spotting talent but also in guiding young players through the crucial steps that lead to success in the football world.

Through my experience and expertise, I aim to continue building pathways for young footballers, and to working with clubs and individuals who contribute to this process.
