Leah Eddie (born 23 January 2001) is a Scottish footballer who plays as a defender for Rangers in the Scottish Women's Premier League (SWPL) and the Scotland national team. She has previously played for Scottish teams Central Ladies Academy and Hibernian.
Eddie attended the Performance School at Graeme High School in Falkirk, and played for Central Ladies Academy. After being the first woman who came through the Performance School to be selected for Scotland's national team, she said that she feels it developed and helped her very much, while playing with boys developed her strength and improved her technical ability.
Eddie played for a brief time with Rangers, after which she joined Hibernian in 2018. Not long after debuting against Celtic, she missed most of the 2019 Scottish Women's Premier League season due to a major knee injury.
In May 2021, Eddie was awarded the club's Player of the Year award for the 2020âÂÂ21 Scottish Women's Premier League season, having led from the back and scoring crucial goals. In October 2022, Eddie reached an appearance milestone after playing 50 games for Hibernian.
During the 2023âÂÂ24 Scottish Women's Premier League season, Eddie made 27 appearances for the club in all competitions, leading to her being named in the PFA Scotland SWPL Team of the Year and being awarded the club's Player of the Year award a second time. Despite her strong season, the club confirmed that Eddie left the club at the conclusion of her contract.
In May 2024, Eddie returned to Rangers, signing a two-year deal. In March 2025, she lifted her first trophy with the club, after playing in the 5âÂÂ0 victory over her former club, Hibernian, in the final of the 2024âÂÂ25 Scottish Women's Premier League Cup.
Eddie represented Scotland at under-17 and under-19 levels, making seven appearances for each side.
In May 2021, Eddie was called up for the first time for the Scotland senior team ahead of friendlies against Northern Ireland and Wales. She made her international debut the following month in a 1âÂÂ0 victory over Northern Ireland, coming on as a second-half substitute to replace Brianna Westrup.
In February 2022, Eddie was called up to the Scotland squad for the 2022 Pinatar Cup as an injury replacement together with Rachael Johnstone in place of Erin Cuthbert and Chloe Logan who were withdrawn.
In November 2022, Scotland set-up their under-23 side, and Eddie was selected for the first squad for a match against Panama. She made her debut for the side in the 2âÂÂ0 victory, coming on as a substitute in the 60th minute, replacing Amy Muir. In September 2023, she was once again called up for the under-23 side for a training camp in Italy, culminating in a friendly she started against Australia which they lost 1âÂÂ0. Two months later, she was called up for a friendly match against Netherlands, which they lost 3âÂÂ1 with Eddie playing the full match. In May 2024, she was called up for a pair of friendlies against Denmark. She captained the team in the first match, a 2âÂÂ1 defeat, but before the second friendly was called up to the senior squad to replace Sarah Ewens in a Euro 2025 qualifying match against Israel. In October 2024, she was selected for the under-23 side again for two friendlies. She played in both matches, a 2âÂÂ2 draw with Belgium and a 5âÂÂ1 victory over Czech Republic.
