Leanne Ross (born 8 July 1981) is a Scottish female international football midfielder. She currently plays for Glasgow City. Since her 2006 debut, Ross has amassed over 100 caps for Scotland.
Club career
Ross grew up in Stenhousemuir and played on boys' teams before, at the age of 15, scoring a record 56 goals in one season for Falkirk Girls.[2] Prior to joining Glasgow City in 2007, Ross spent nine years with Newburgh – who later folded.[3]
Ross won a full set of domestic medals with Glasgow City, and also featured in the UEFA Women's Champions League.[2]
International career
Ross made two appearances for the Scotland under-19 team before a broken ankle derailed her progress at international level.[4] After a lengthy absence, she was surprised to be drafted into the senior team – at left back – for a 1–0 World Cup qualifying win over Switzerland at McDiarmid Park in April 2006.[2]
Ross became a national team regular and won her 50th cap against the same opposition in June 2010.[4]
