Leah Scarpelli

American defender Leah Scarpelli played college football for Penn State University for one year before joining Florida Gulf Coast University from 2020-2022. She then got the opportunity to play overseas for Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon where she spent seven months.

The 22-year-old centre-back joined the Roar ahead of the 2023/24 Liberty A-League season, bringing experience beyond her years, with USA Women’s Youth National Team stints at u15 and u19 levels.

Leah looks to continue refining her game while earning consistent first-team minutes.
