Essendon Royals re-sign mid-season signing Jack Leech for 2025 campaign

Essendon Royals are pleased to announce the re-signing of Jack Leech ahead of the 2025 VPL2 season.

Leech joined the club NPL Western Australia side Balcatta Etna, after numerous seasons plying his trade across the Nullarbor, which included a stint in Perth Glory’s Academy side.

The midfielder – whose brother, Charlie, also plays in NPL Victoria – went on to make five appearances in the senior squad for the remainder of the campaign.

Now, he is embarking on his first full season at the Royals as he looks to build off his short period at Cross Keys to end the 2024 campaign.

His re-signing is the seventh ahead of the new season, joining club captain Graham Kelly, VPL2 Golden Boot winner Jordan Adeyemi, Dean Clarke, Brad Norton, Will Thomason, Andre Russo and James Tieri.
