1999

Jonathan Kisolokele Leko (born 24 April 1999) is a professional footballer who plays as a forward or winger for League One club Burton Albion, on loan from club Milton Keynes Dons.

Leko was born in 1999 in Kinshasa, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

He came to England at the age of eight with his father, who was granted asylum.

He grew up in the Nechells area of Birmingham, and after he joined West Bromwich Albion's football academy, he was educated at Sandwell Academy, opposite the club's stadium.

Leko joined West Bromwich Albion at the age of 11.

According to the club's academy manager, Mark Harrison, he was "a bit of a rough diamond", but by the under-14s he had developed an understanding of the game and was showing considerable creative ability.

When he took the field on 30 April against West Ham United, Leko became the first player born in 1999 to start a Premier League match.

In the last match of the season, a 1–1 draw with Liverpool, he set up Salomón Rondón's goal with a solo run.

Before the match, Leko received the club's Young Player of the Season award.

2015

He began his career with West Bromwich Albion, made his senior debut as a 16-year-old in 2015, and spent time on loan at Bristol City and Charlton Athletic.

He was included in the first team's 2015 pre-season tour of Austria, during which he came off the bench in a 3–1 loss against Red Bull Salzburg.

Leko made his competitive debut on 23 September 2015 as a 77th-minute substitute in a League Cup defeat to Norwich City.

2016

On 2 April 2016, he was named in the matchday squad against Sunderland, and came on for Saido Berahino in the 78th minute to make his Premier League debut at the age of 16 years and 344 days.

He made nine Premier League appearances for West Bromwich Albion in 2016–17.

Away to Stoke City on 24 September 2016, he took a corner from which Rondón headed a stoppage-time equaliser.

He then won the Premier League 2 Player of the Month award for December with the West Bromwich Albion U23s.

2017

Leko was one of 98 nominations for the European Golden Boy award for 2017, but did not make the 24-man shortlist.

Leko made one substitute appearance for West Brom, in the 2017–18 EFL Cup, before joining Championship club Bristol City on 28 August on a season-long loan.

2018

West Bromwich Albion were relegated to the Championship in 2018, but Leko played little during the 2018–19 season.

He was recalled in January 2018 after 11 goalless appearances, so that he could by assessed by new manager Alan Pardew.

2019

On 28 June, he agreed terms on his first professional contract, a three-year deal lasting to June 2019.

On 8 August 2019, Leko and teammate Sam Field joined Charlton Athletic on a season-long loan.

He scored his first goal against Reading on 31 August.

Having scored five goals from 21 appearances, Leko suffered an ACL injury during the match against Queens Park Rangers on 23 December which ruled him out for the remainder of the season.

He returned to his parent club for treatment.

Leko made a complaint to the Football Association about an incident of racial abuse by Leeds United goalkeeper Kiko Casilla in a match in September.

2020

He joined Birmingham City in 2020, and had a spell on loan at Charlton Athletic in 2021 before signing for Milton Keynes Dons in 2023.

Leko was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and grew up in England from the age of eight.

He has represented England at all levels up to under-20.

Casilla was found guilty by an independent panel in February 2020 and received an eight-match ban and a £60,000 fine.

Leko said afterwards that he had been disappointed both by the delay in resolving the issue and by the lack of support from the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) and from such anti-racism organisations as Kick It Out and Show Racism the Red Card.

Leko signed a three-year contract with Birmingham on 28 August 2020.

The fee was undisclosed, but reported as £1 million.

After ten months out with the ACL injury, he finally made his Birmingham City debut on 17 October, as a substitute in a 1–0 defeat at home to Sheffield Wednesday.

On 31 August 2021, having made 41 competitive appearances without scoring, Leko re-joined, now, League One club Charlton Athletic on a season-long loan.

He made his second debut for the club on 11 September, as a half-time substitute with Charlton two goals down at home to Cheltenham Town, and scored after 59 minutes; the match ended 1–2.

Upon his return to Birmingham he scored his first goal for the club in an EFL Cup tie against Norwich City on 9 August 2022.

Leko signed for League One club Milton Keynes Dons on 13 January 2023 for an undisclosed fee.
