Born in Espinosa, Minas Gerais, Leandrinho joined Santos FC's youth system in 2010, aged 16. He made his first team debut on 5 August 2012, in a 0–3 away loss against Naútico for the Série A championship.[1]

Leandrinho was later praised by manager Muricy Ramalho due to his performances,[2] but was demoted to the under-20s, helping the side to win the category's Campeonato Paulista.[3] He scored his first professional goal on 10 July 2013, netting his side's only in a 1–1 home draw against CRAC, for that year's Copa do Brasil.[4]

On 16 August 2013, after being definitely promoted to the main squad by manager Claudinei Oliveira, Leandrinho renewed his link with Santos until December 2017,[5] being also a regular during the campaign, appearing in 21 matches. He eventually lost his space in 2014, contributing with only eight league matches.

Vitória de Setúbal

On 2 September 2019, Leandrinho signed a three-year contract with fellow top tier side Vitória de Setúbal.[8]
