You can write a function that extracts the match of the last search pattern around the cursor and creates a mapping to call it.
nnoremap <silent> <leader>y :call setreg('"', MatchAround(@/), 'c')<cr>
function! MatchAround(pat)
let [sl, sc] = searchpos(a:pat, 'bcnW')
let [el, ec] = searchpos(a:pat, 'cenW')
let t = map(getline(sl ? sl : -1, el), 'v:val."\n"')
if len(t) > 0
let t[0] = t[0][sc-1:]
let ec -= len(t) == 1 ? sc-1 : 0
let t[-1] = t[-1][:matchend(t[-1], '.', ec-1)-1]
end
return join(t, '')
endfunction
