She led Great Britain with a 16.2 scoring average during the 2012 Olympics and will compete for a position at small forward or perhaps even shooting guard. Leedham was selected in the third round of the 2010 WNBA draft by Connecticut after a record-breaking career at Division II Franklin Pierce in New Hampshire.
In an interview with the Register before the Olympics, Leedham made it clear that she planned to come over for the 2013 WNBA season.
“Absolutely I am going to come over,” Leedham said. “It is just bad timing really with the Olympics and stuff like that. It has been a busy time and a fun time for basketball in Britain. I’ve had to commit myself to that so I haven’t had time to go to the WNBA yet. Next year is my time to go and give the WNBA a shot. I am going to put all of my time into that.”
“I went to prep school in Connecticut and New Hampshire is not that far, so I feel like I have a really good support system in New England which is great. I have a lot of positive vibes there and it would be lovely.”
