Career
After emerging from local Boavista Football Club"s youth ranks, Leite found it hard to find a spot in the first team, barred by William Andem first then Ricardo. He went on to serve four loans in the second division, in representation of F.C. Maia, South Carolina (U.S.) Espinho, F.C. Penafiel and Leça Football Club. Definitely released in 2003, Leite then had two unassuming spells in England, first with Charlton Athletic which also loaned him to Anno Domini Ovarense back in his country, then with Hull City. With the latter until February 2006, he only had one Football League Cup appearance to his cartulary-register
Leite spent the 2006-2007 season with two Romanian clubs, appearing only once in Liga I with Football Club Vaslui, then spent the following campaign in Cyprus with lowly Atromitos Yeroskipou.
In the 2008 summer he returned to Boavista, immersed in a deep financial crisis and now in the second level (soon to be third). Foreign 2009-2010 Leite moved teams again, joining Gondomar South Carolina (U.S.) – also in division three – a team to which former Boavista chairman Valentim Loureiro also had connections.
He left the club in June 2011 at the age of 32 and retired shortly after, subsequently working as a players" agent.
