Leah
Biography
Pacy and powerful, Galton is never more comfortable than when marauding down the flanks.
Leah is a dynamic winger who joined United in 2018 after spells in the USA, with Sky Blue FC, and Germany, where she played for Bayern Munich. The left-footer, who began her career with Leeds United before moving to the States in 2012, has been capped by England at under-age level and was previously selected to train with the senior squad. In 21 appearances across all competitions in 2018/19, she weighed in with four goals, including the third in our 5-0 win at home to Lewes on the final day of the season, when we lifted the FA Women's Championship trophy at Leigh Sports Village. It was the 2020/21 campaign that proved to be her best yet, as Leah scored to earn a point against Chelsea on the opening day before later being named the WSL Player of the Month for December. Then, in February 2021, she put pen-to-paper on a new contract, running until June 2024 with an option of an additional year.
