Club career

Early career

Levis spent his entire college career at the University of Saskatchewan. He made a total of 50 appearances for the Huskies and tallied 29 goals and 16 assists.

He also played in the Premier Development League for Victoria Highlanders and Vancouver Whitecaps FC U-23.[1][2]

Whitecaps FC 2

On February 24, 2015, Levis signed a professional contract with USL expansion side Whitecaps FC 2.[3] He made his professional debut on March 29 in a 4–0 defeat to Seattle Sounders FC 2.[4]

After signing a short-term MLS contract in July 2016, Levis made his first team debut against Central FC in the 2016–17 CONCACAF Champions League.[5][6] In August 2016, Levis signed a first team deal with Vancouver Whitecaps FC through 2017, with options for the 2018 and 2019 seasons.[7] In October 2016, Levis made his MLS debut against the Portland Timbers replacing Giles Barnes.[8] In the same game, Levis would tear his ACL which would keep him out of play for the majority of the 2017 season.[9][10]

Going in to the 2018 season, Levis was expected to play a bigger role on the club with the departure of Jordan Harvey in the offseason.[11] Levis was released by Vancouver at the end of the 2019 season.[12]
