Early career

[edit]

Born in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Leite finished his graduation with Grêmio, but was released in 2010. In 2011, he joined J. Malucelli, making his senior debut on 1 May in a 2–1 home loss against Operário Ferroviário.

Leite subsequently moved to Série B side Boa Esporte, but failed to make any senior appearances for the club. On 19 January 2012, he signed for Ipatinga.[2]

Leite made his professional debut on 7 August 2012, starting in a 2–0 away win against Bragantino. He appeared in 23 league matches during the campaign, which ended in relegation.

On 8 January 2013, Leite joined Criciúma in Série A.[3] He made his debut in the category on 31 July, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 draw at Portuguesa. He would contribute with 11 appearances during the year, again experiencing team relegation.

Botafogo

[edit]

On 7 January 2014, Leite was presented at Botafogo.[4] Initially a third-choice behind Jefferson and Renan, he became the second-choice of Sidão when Renan left in 2016 and Jefferson was injured.

Leite was again a backup option in the 2017 campaign, this time behind another new signing, Gatito Fernández. On 14 December of that year, he moved to São Caetano on loan for the ensuing season.[5]

Boavista

[edit]

On 12 June 2018, Leite moved abroad for the first time in his career after joining Portuguese Primeira Liga side Boavista.[6] At the club, he was named the Best Goalkeeper during the months of January and February 2020.[7]

Benfica

[edit]

On 8 August 2020, Leite agreed to a five-year contract with Benfica.[8]
