Having played in the youth sectors of Ponte Preta, São Bernardo FC, Oeste and Bahia, Leandro Lima began his professional career in 2019 when 17 years old, playing for São Bernardo FC in the 2019
Campeonato Paulista Série A2, returning to the youth sectors where he competed in under-20 competitions as
Copa São Paulo de Futebol Jr. and
Campeonato Brasileiro Sub-20. In 2022, he played in the
Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão for União Mogi, standing out with seven goals in nine matches for the team. His good performance earned him a signing with
FK Pardubice in the
Czech First League. Lima played his debut match in the Pardubice jersey on 31 July 2022, against
Dynamo České Budějovice, when Pardubice suffered a 2–0 home defeat. He scored his first goal in the first team against
Baník Ostrava on 28 May 2023. In the 2023–24 season, he played only one match in the first team and became more of a reserve player. He was subsequently loaned to Samgurali Sealtubo of the Georgian First Division, where he made 12 appearances in total. For the 2024–25 season, he was loaned out again, this time to 1. SK Prostějov, where he played 12 matches and scored two goals in the
2024–25 Czech National Football League. ==Personal life and death==
