Leite signed with the Milwaukee Wave of the then Major Indoor Soccer League in the fall of 2006. In the summer of 2007, the Wave sent him on loan with the expansion Carolina RailHawks of the USL First Division. He played twelve games with the RailHawks and returned to Milwaukee for the 2007-2008 season. In the fall of 2008, the Wave moved to the newly created Xtreme Soccer League. However, Leite suffered a season ending torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the first pre-season game. He then spent the winter in rehabilitation and working as a coach. Leite was injured again with the same injury while playing for the Croatian Eagles Soccer Club in the annual Labor Day Croatian-North American Soccer Tournament in Cleveland, Ohio in September 2009.
