This big and powerful striker began in 2000-01 at Rotherham United where he netted just one goal in seven outings.

However, just days after pledging his future to the Millers, he was on his way to Cardiff City where he once again proved how useful he is at disrupting lower division defences.

He was particularly effective when Andy Legg delivered his long throws into the box, as Leo would draw defenders to him allowing others such as Scott Young to move in to score.

He was one of five Bluebirds to reach a double-figure goal tally as he featured in a promotion-winning team for the second year in a row.

The uncle of Charlton Athletic's Jay Fortune joined Doncaster Rovers in a two-year deal in June 2003 that was extended to June 2006 in April 2005.
