Personal life


Leat was born in Arrowtown.[4] She attended Rangitoto College in Auckland and was named the school's Sportswomen of the Year in 2017 and 2018.[5][6][7]


College career


In February 2019, Leat started studying at Georgetown University and joined the Georgetown Hoyas as a freshman.[8] she would play 18 games, starting in 16 and only allowing 19 goals, helping the Hoyas to 10 wins.[5] She returned to New Zealand after the coronavirus pandemic began.[9]


Club career


Leat played for both East Coast Bays and Glenfield Rovers while at high school.[4][10] While playing for East Coast Bays, she became the first female to be named in a Chatham Cup squad in the 2021 edition.[11][12]

On 7 August 2021 it was announced that Leat had signed with West Ham United who play in the FA Women's Super League.[13] On 11 May 2022, West Ham United confirmed that Leat was not offered a new contract and would depart at the end of the season.[14]

On 13 July 2022 Aston Villa announced the signing of Leat for the 2022–23 season.[15] Leat made her Villa debut on 1 October 2022, in a FA Women's League Cup game against Manchester United. After the match ended in a 1–1 draw, Aston Villa won on penalties thanks to four saves by Leat.[16]


International career


Leat made her senior starting début at 16 years old,[13] in a 5–0 win over Thailand on 28 November 2017.[17][7]

On 25 November 2018, Leat was part of the New Zealand U17 side who became the first New Zealand team in either women's or men's football to qualify for a semi-final at a World Cup. Leat helped the team win its quarter-final against Japan at the U-17 Women's World Cup in Uruguay by saving two penalties and scoring the winning goal.[2] Her final penalty goal won the public vote as the favourite sporting moment at the 2018 Halberg Awards.[18] The team would then lose 0–2 to Spain in the semi-final[19] but win New Zealand's first ever medal at a World Cup by beating Canada in the third place match.[20]

Leat has also played at the 2016 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Jordan,[21] the 2018 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in France,[22][23] the 2019 FFA Cup of Nations,[24] the 2020 Algarve Cup.[25] and the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.[26]
