Leomir's career all started with Criciúma in 2010, before a move to Moto Club.[2] His third club was Ituano, he didn't make a league appearance but did play 12 times for the club in the 2011 Campeonato Paulista; a season in-which Ituano survived relegation on goal difference. One year later, Leomir made a move to Red Bull Brasil and then Mirassol, he made his debut for the latter on 1 July 2012 against Arapongas in Série D. He went on to make 7 further league appearances in his first season with Mirassol, the following season saw Leomir make 16 appearances in the club's relegation campaign in the 2013 Campeonato Paulista.

Shortly after the state championship season had ended Leomir left Mirassol to join Série C side Mogi Mirim. He made 12 appearances in Brazil's third tier before departing.[1] After leaving Mogi Mirim, he signed for fellow Série C club Botafogo, he played in 11 matches for Botafogo over the course of 2014 in three different competitions before moving clubs once again. Leomir's next club was Marília, he made 8 appearances for the club in Campeonato Paulista before departing to make a move to Toledo and subsequently moving outside of Brazil for the first time as he agreed to sign for Albanian Superliga side Kukësi in 2015.

He participated in 15 matches between September and December for the Kukës based club.[1][3] January 2016 saw Leomir leave Kukësi and return to Brazil as he signed for URT.[4] After eight appearances in Campeonato Mineiro, he left and eventually completed a transfer to São Paulo of Série D.[1][2] Leomir joined Guarani ahead of the 2018 Campeonato Mineiro II campaign.[5][6] He scored on his debut in a 0–2 win away to Ipatinga.[7] Leomir subsequently scored four goals in twelve as Guarani won promotion to the Campeonato Mineiro after defeating Uberaba on 21 April.[8] On 5 May, Gurani won the Mineiro II title after defeating Tupynambás.[9]

Three months later, in 2018, Leomir was on the move again as he signed for CRAC of the Campeonato Goiano lower leagues; his fourteenth senior club.[10][11] They won the second tier title in September 2018, with Leomir netting two goals throughout the campaign.[12] He rejoined Guarani in the following November ahead of the 2019 campaign.[13] He subsequently featured nine times as they suffered relegation.[1] Across the following twelve months, Leomir had spells with Bagé (in Divisão de Accesso) and Jaraguá (in Campeonato Goiano).[14][15]
