Daniel Leach (born 5 January 1986) is an Australian former footballer who last played for Football League Two club Barnet as a defender.

Career

He attended St. Joseph's Nudgee College in Virginia, Queensland, and played state football for Queensland. He moved on to the Queensland Academy of Sport Football Program, and also played for Brisbane Strikers. During this time he was also called up to the Australia under-17 pool after winning the u16 national championships with Queensland. He then took an extended break from football, moving to London, England, and later to the United States, where he joined Oregon State University. He also played amateur football for Portland Timbers U23.

In July 2009, he played in Barnet's friendly against Arsenal, and signed for the Bees on a one-year deal a few days later. In February 2010, he joined Conference South side Dover Athletic on a one-month loan deal. Leach was released by Barnet at the end of the 2009–10 season, but remained on trial at the club under new manager Mark Stimson and signed a new contract in July 2010. He scored his first goal for Barnet against Crewe Alexandra in a 2–1 victory. In January 2012, he was forced to retire from playing due to a knee injury.

After football

After his retirement from football, Leach studied at the University of the Arts in London, where he earned a Masters degree in documentary film.
