Jack James Leckie (born 10 August 2003) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender, most recently for EFL Championship club Hull City.

Career

Leckie joined his boyhood club Newcastle United at the age of 13. [2] He then completed a two-year scholarship with Burnley beginning in the 2020–21 season. [2] [3] Towards the end of the 2021–22 campaign, he joined Hull City on a trial period. [4] After his Burnley scholarship ended in the summer of 2022, [5] Leckie signed permanently for Hull on a two-year deal. [4]

On 15 August 2023, he joined National League North club Farsley Celtic on a season-long loan. [6] [7] Having made six appearances for the side, [8] he sustained an ankle injury that cut the loan short. [9] [10] On 30 June 2024, Leckie penned a new one-year contract with Hull, with the club holding the option of an additional year. [11] On 5 September 2025, Leckie was named vice-captain of the U21s, alongside new captain George Dickinson. [12] When Dickinson left the club on 13 December 2024, [13] Leckie became his successor as captain. [14] Less than two weeks later, on 26 December 2024, he returned to Farsley on a month-long loan, arriving alongside Hull teammate Stan Ashbee. [15] [16] Leckie never featured in his second stint for the club, [17] and on 20 March 2025, he was sent back out on loan, this time to Chorley for the remainder of the 2024–25 season. [18] [19] Following the campaign's conclusion, Leckie was released by Hull City. [20]
