Jérôme Leroy (born 4 November 1974) is a French former professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder.

Playing career

Born in Béthune, Pas-de-Calais, Leroy started playing for Paris Saint-Germain. With PSG he participated in the final of the 1997 Cup Winners' Cup which was lost to Barcelona. During the 1995–96 season he joined Laval on loan.

Following a stint at Marseille, he returned to PSG, where he reached the 2003 French Cup final.

He moved to Guingamp during the 2003–04 winter transfer window.

Luis Fernández, Leroy's former mentor at Paris Saint-Germain, brought him to Teddy Stadium, home to Beitar Jerusalem, in December 2005 from Ligue 1 club Lens, beating off competition from l'OM. On 25 June 2006, Beitar took off from Ben Gurion International Airport on an El Al flight to the Netherlands for preseason training. Leroy chose not to join the team opting to check options of staying in France for the 2006–07 season.[1] A deal with Sochaux was ultimately arranged.

With Sochaux he won the 2006–07 Coupe de France. The game finished 2–2 and went to penalties, and Leroy scored his penalty in the shootout as his side emerged victorious.[2]

For 2007–08, Leroy joined Rennes, where he was dubbed "Leroy (le roi, "the king") de la passe" (king of assists). He stayed in Rennes until 2011.

In 2011, Leroy moved to newly promoted Ligue 1 club Évian after signing a one-year contract on 5 July 2011.[3] He spent one season with Évian.

On 29 June 2013, after one year without a club, Leroy joined Ligue 2 side Istres. A year later, he signed a one-year contract with Le Havre.[4]

In January 2015, he signed for Châteauroux.[5]

Post-playing career

Following his retirement, Leroy became sports director of his last club, Châteauroux.[6] He left this position in June 2020.[7] However, he was re-appointed in December 2020.[8] He left again in 2021.[9]

Personal life

Leroy's son Léo Leroy is also a professional footballer.[10]
