McLeod (5-8, 165) is an up-and-coming halfback in his native country of New Zealand, where he first learned the sport of rugby. He joins the Utah Warriors after spending the past three seasons with Hawkes Bay, competing in the NPC in New Zealand. McLeod also played two seasons for the Hurricanes Development Team in Super Rugby, from 2020-21.

Prior to his time in Super Rugby and the NPC, McLeod played for Otago and Otago U19, where he was named the Back of the Year. The 25-year-old scrum half has also represented New Zealand Universities at the international level.

“The last 4 seasons in the NPC competition have helped me grow as a player,” said McLeod. “I am looking forward to adding my knowledge and skill set where I can at the Warriors.”
