Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Tireless carrying Number 8 with defensive reliability

Leatherbarrow is a consistent presence at the base of the scrum, racking up close to eight carries per match and covering meaningful ground with the ball in hand across both cup and league football. His tackle counts are equally notable, averaging over seven per game with a single-game peak of 20, pointing to a player who contributes heavily at both ends of the breakdown. When the moments demand it, he steps up — five tries across 18 appearances show he finds the line when it matters.
