Birmingham City have announced the signing of Marc Leonard from Brighton and Hove Albion.
The 22 year old has joined City on a four year contract subject to league and FA clearance.
"Based on where I am in my career and where Birmingham are trying to get to, I just felt like the ambition of this club really matched my own,” the Scotland under 21 international said, speaking to the club’s website.
"I felt like the time was right [to leave Brighton], and I knew that Blues was the club that I wanted to play for so I really pushed for the deal to go through."
The midfielder spent time as a youth player with Rangers and Hearts in Scotland before joining Brighton in 2018.
He gained some good experience over the past two seasons with over 90 league games for Northampton Town. The midfielder helped Northampton to promotion from League 2 in his first season at the club.
