Club Rugby

A player for S.I.C. in Argentina, he also was included in the Argentinian high performance squad, the Pampas XV to play in the South African Vodacom Cup compe*ions in 2010, 2011 and 2012.

He joined the South African team Southern Kings for the 2013 Super Rugby season. However, he made just one single subs*ute appearance, coming on as a 58th-minute subs*ute against the Chiefs.

He was initially named in their touring squad to Australasia for games against Crusaders, Hurricanes, Brumbies and Rebels, but were then recalled after the Kings fielded more than the allowed two foreigner players in their match against the Chiefs. He did, however, make four appearances for the Eastern Province Kings in the domestic 2013 Vodacom Cup tournament, with injury preventing him making more appearances.

He left the Kings in July 2013 and, after a few appearances for former side S.I.C. in the Torneo de la URBA in Argentina, he moved to Scotland to join Edinburgh Rugby.

Leonardi was signed for the new *anese Super Rugby team Sunwolves for the 2016 season but was later announced in the Leicester Tigers European cup squad in October 2016 as a temporary injury replacement for Mike Williams. Leonardi played part of the Anglo-Welsh Cup game against Bath in November 2016. Leonardi wasn't announced in the squad for the rest of the 2016/17 season. As of May 2017, Leonardi isn't recognised in the Tigers' squad list.

International

He made his debut for Argentina in November 2008 against Chile. In May 2010, he was selected in a squad of over 40 players to represent Argentina in the two-test Summer tour of Europe. He has been a regular international for Argentina ever since.
