Izale Michael McLeod (born 15 October 1984) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for Wrexham. He has played in The Football League for Derby County, Milton Keynes Dons, Charlton Athletic, Barnet, Portsmouth, Crawley Town, Notts County and Yeovil Town. He also played for England U21.
Born in Birmingham, McLeod began his career at Derby County in 2002. He made his debut on 28 September 2002, at the age of seventeen, just three weeks before his eighteenth birthday, in a 1–0 win over Ipswich Town during which he received a yellow card. Weeks later on 30 October 2002, he scored his first goal in a 2–1 win over Sheffield United and scored against the other Sheffield team, Sheffield Wednesday, the following week in a 3–1 win. After getting his chance in the first team, McLeod signed a two-year deal. However the following season, McLeod suffered a knee cartilage injury in training, and was out for 6 weeks following surgery, losing his first team place as a result. In the transfer window, McLeod was linked with a move to Russian and Ukrainian clubs, like Shinnik Yaroslavl. McLeod was close to joining Shinnik Yaroslavl and Metalurh Donetsk, with the moves reportedly around the £300,000 mark. However, McLeod eventually rejected the moves and stayed at Derby County, to fight for his place in the first team. But he spent time on loan at First Division club Sheffield United, making seven appearances. During his career at Derby, McLeod scored four goals in 41 appearances.
