Coach Zoe Hayes, aged 36, of Johnson Road, Uttoxeter, said: "Jane walked around with us and spoke to the girls. She is on about coming back. We need another 11 or 12 to join us."
Leonard is set to play a key role in the women's rugby World Cup later this year as England aim to lift the coveted trophy on home soil.
The Royal Engineers Lance Corporal, who plays and trains with Lichfield Rugby Club but hails from Uttoxeter, has already won six caps for England women's team.
Those interested in joining the girls' section of Uttoxeter Rugby Club are asked to contact Zoe on 07875 550461.
