How Acquired: Selected by the Revolution in the fourth round (45th overall) of the 2002 SuperDraft

Leonard gives the coaching staff an option at both left back and left-sided midfielder with his workrate, quickness and man-marking acumen ... now in his fifth full season with the Revs, Marshall continues to improve his skill on the ball and serves a good cross into the box from the left flank ... originally signed as a developmental player, Leonard progressed to the Revs senior roster and regular starter - he is a great example of a player rising through the ranks of the MLS system.

2006: Made one appearance before missing the rest of the season after suffering a ruptured left Achilles tendon on April 24 in a scrimmage against Boston College at Gillette Stadium.

Played one of his best games in a Revs uniform in the Eastern Conference Championship match at D.C. Assisted Twellman on the first New England goal in that match with a pinpoint cross from the left wing.

2003: Composed, athletic and hard-working, Leonard made the Revolution roster a year after being drafted by the Revs. Appeared in 10 games in his first full MLS season, starting five games mostly as an outside back. By mid-season, he found himself filling in during big games at left back. Made his first-career MLS start on Aug. 30 against Chicago in a 5-1 New England victory. Started all three of the Revs' MLS Cup Playoff games, playing all 281 minutes of action.
