Career
Contracted since his youth with Cruzeiro Esporte Clube, Leandro Amaro had several loan spells with Cabofriense, Villa Nova, Marilia, Villa Nova, Goianiense and Botafogo-SP before signing for Palmeiras in 2010.[2] After two years in the Palmeiras team he was loaned out successively to Avaí, Náutico and Chapecoense in 2013 and 2014 before his contract expired.[3]
In 2015 he was contracted to ABC, but agreed a mutual termination in August.[4] He played with Itumbiara in early 2016, but was signed by Mirassol in April of that year to strengthen their side in the quarter-final stages of the Campeonato Paulista second division.[5] At the end of that campaign he moved to Guarani for the 2016 Campeonato Brasileiro Série C, winning promotion.[6] He was not retained by Guarani, and signed for Ferroviária for the 2017 Campeonato Paulista.[7] From there he agreed a contract with Oeste for the 2017 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B.[8] The club finished 6th, and he renewed for the 2018 season, but after a poor start to the Série B campaign he was released and immediately re-signed for Mirassol for their 2018 Copa Paulista and 2019 Campeonato Paulista campaigns.[9]
He signed for Botafogo-SP, newly promoted to Série B, in April 2019.[10]
