Leonard was born in Gloucester. A clever dribbler on the right wing, he had a fine season in the Southern League with Bedminster, but fell out of favour and joined Small Heath in November 1899. He went straight into the starting eleven, making his debut in the Football League Second Division on 11 November in a 3–0 defeat at New Brighton Tower. He was given a run of nine games in league and FA Cup, but then lost his place, and returned to the West Country with Cheltenham Town at the end of the 1899–1900 season.
