STAR PLAYER ON THE TEAM

- I work as a software analyst for a casino gaming company. When I first started I was the star player on the team. I left on maternity leave and upon my return we were working on a new product.

- What do "the star player on the team" and "left on" mean in this situation?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

Dear Clive and other Teachers!

- Instead of "I left on maternity leave", could I say "I left FOR maternity leave" to mean that "I had a couple of weeks off to have a maternity leave"?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

Hi,
Yes.
But I prefer 'on'. I think it's slightly more idiomatic.
