19 December ,1983 in Cork, Ireland) is an Irish footballer who currently plays for Stockport County.Career
McSweeney began his career with hometown club Cork City, quickly gaining a move to Leicester City in 2001 when still a teenager. McSweeney failed to make a first-team appearance, and in 2003 was released, soon signing a contract with Scarborough. There he made four substitute appearances, but left later that year for Hucknall Town, where he spent half a season before moving to Hednesford Town in 2004. He had a successful season with "The Pitmen", scoring 14 goals and helping them gain promotion. However, he couldn't agree a new contract with the club and so moved back to Hucknall Town in the summer of 2005, only to return to Hednesford again in December [cite web | title = Former Pitmen - Leon McSweeney | work = [http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/pitmen/index.html The Pitmenweb] | url= http://mysite.orange.co.uk/ex-pitmen/playerprofilemcsweeney.htm |accessdate = 2007-12-14] . The following summer McSeeney moved to Ilkeston Town, where he spent one season before moving back home and playing for Cork City in the
FAI League of Ireland . At the end of the Irish 2007 season, despite interest from Bohemians he crossed the Irish Sea again, signing an 18-month contract with Stockport County [cite web | title = Deal done | work = Stockport County official website | url = http://www.stockportcounty.premiumtv.co.uk/page/LatestNews/0,,10419~1190927,00.html | accessdate = 2007-12-14] .References
