Léo Sena scored his first senior goal on 8 May 2016, netting the opener in a 1–1 home draw against Anápolis, for the state league's final; his side went on to win the competition on penalties.[3] He made his Série B debut for the club five days later, starting in a 1–0 away win against Tupi.[4]

On 13 August 2016, Léo Sena renewed his contract with the club until the end of 2019.[5] During the 2018 campaign, he contributed with 13 appearances as his side achieved promotion to Série A.
