Club career

A product of Elche CF's youth academy, Leandro was born in Alzira, Valencia, and was promoted to the first team for 2009–10 in the second division, acting as third-choice behind Willy Caballero and Jaime as well as still appearing for the reserves. He made his debut for them on 20 March 2010 in a 2–1 home win against Albacete Balompié as the former was sent off,[1] one of only two appearances during the season.

In the following season, Leandro played for Torrellano Illice CF, who at that time acted as the farm team. He featured for the main squad late into the campaign, in a 3–3 draw at Granada CF.[2]

On 30 July 2012, Leandro signed with second level club SD Ponferradina in a season-long loan.[3] Roughly one year later, he agreed terms with Levante UD B after the expiry of his contract with Elche.[4]

On 10 July 2014, Leandro moved to Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa also of division three.[5] He achieved promotion in 2016–17, but contributed with only five matches to the feat (playoffs included).[6]

On 4 July 2017, Leandro signed for CF Villanovense of the third tier.[7] On 6 July of the following year, he agreed to a two-year contract at RCD Mallorca in the level above;[8] he spent the 2018–19 campaign playing second-fiddle Manolo Reina and Miquel Parera, as the team achieved promotion to La Liga.[9]

On 6 July 2019, Leandro returned to Cultural on a two-year deal.[10]
