McLeod Signs New Contract

Kevin McLeod has signed a new one-year contract. After a successful spell on loan at QPR where helped get them into the play-offs at Cardiff, Kevin has returned and is determined to force his way into the first team. ' I am definitely going to prove to the Manager that I am worthy of a place during pre-season' said Kevin. Well good luck son & let's hope so, mind you he's got his work cut out being up against Mark Pembridge!! (06/07/03)

Kevin McLeod Set To Leave

Macca was expecting a better contract than the one Everton offered him, so it seems certain that he will leave the club.

His agent Neil Sang said: "Kevin didn't get the deal he thought he should have or deserved at Everton and he's now considering his options, of which he has a few."(22/06/03)

Macca Not Happy

If he leaves, Everton will get a few bob, as he's at a young age, & we'll get a development fee.
Macca says: "It's no good for a young lad to play in the reserves because it does your confidence no good. The Premiership is where everyone wants to play, but if it's going to jeopardise my career to stay with Everton and waste away, then I won't stay. I'd rather drop down and prove myself in the First Division.". QPR & Preston are believed to be waiting in the wings. (04/06/03)

Macca to play in Millennium Stadium

Kev plays at the Millennium Stadium tomorrow for QPR against Cardiff in the play-offs, & hopes to shine. Then he will decide to sign another contract for Everton or go elsewhere in his quest for 1st team football.

Kev says: "I could see myself wasting away in the reserves at Everton so I asked to go out on loan and I've found my feet again. It's no good for a young lad to play in the reserves because it does your confidence no good. Since I've come here I've learnt a lot playing in front of people. I've been at Everton since I was nine and when you think of Wayne, he's been given his chance to play because there were no forwards to score goals. But there are two or three players in front of me and Gary Naysmith and Mark Pembridge are internationals.

I speak to Wayne all the time - he wants to see what I'm doing down here. But he can't tell me to wait for a chance like he did because he didn't know he was going to get his chance, it just came along. Everton have been watching me and I have been offered another contract but my agent says there are other clubs interested." (24/05/03)

New Contract?

Kevin will decide if he wants to sign the new contract that has been offered to him by Everton after he has played in the play-offs with QPR.(09/05/03)

Blue Future

Kevin is hoping that his successful spell at QPR can get him in the good books with David Moyes.

Kevin said:"I know David Moyes came to watch me play against Blackpool recently. I didn't have the best of games during the first half, but in the second I played a lot better and set a couple of goals up in a 3-1 win, so I was really pleased about that."

"The Luton game was really enjoyable and I am confident that I could do it in the Premiership. I have proved with QPR that I can do it in the Second Division and it is a very physical league, where you don't get much time on the ball. The Premiership is a massive step up, but I would get more time to play and I think I can make it at Everton. I just need to be given a chance, but it is down to David Moyes."(01/05/03)

Brace For Kevin

Kevin scored the both goals for QPR in a 2-0 victory against Luton. The first a header from a corner and the second a stunning free- kick. This win gives Rangers the a certain play off place.

QPR for Kevin

Scouser Kev has joined promotion chasers Queens Park Rangers on a month's loan. The 22-year-old has made just one first team substitute appearance this season in the FA Cup game at Shrewsbury. He played for the reserves in Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Bolton. Kev should gain valuable experience at QPR, & it maybe that he may drop down a level to get a chance of first team togger.

QPR man Mel Johnson said: "If all goes well, Kevin will join training on Friday and be available against Wigan on Saturday.He is an orthodox left-sided player who can play on the wing, at full-back or as a wing-back. He can also play up front if required, " (20/03/03)

On Yer Bike!

Moyesy has said 'No' to Ronnie Moore's request to take Kevin McLeod on loan to Rotherham. Kevin made his debut in September 2000 but has had his opportunities limited although some might say he has never been given a chance, he came on as a late sub last week at Shrewsbury. Moyesy reckons injury problems are the reason for turning down the request so Kevin's big chance could be just around the corner. (10/01/03)
