Darragh John Leahy

Darragh John Leahy is a Republic of Ireland football defender who plays primarily as a left-back. Born in Dublin on 15 April 1998, he is left-footed and developed his senior career in the League of Ireland. His club path included Dundalk, where he operated on the left side of the defence and contributed to build-up play from deep. Leahy’s role has combined flank protection with forward support, reflecting the demands placed on a modern full-back. In January 2026, he moved from the League of Ireland to Linfield, joining the NIFL Premiership club as defensive reinforcement. The transfer brought Darragh John Leahy into football in Northern Ireland after his development and senior experience in the Irish game. At Linfield, he continues as a specialist left-sided defender.
