Career edit

Leoni joined FC Zürich in May 2003, but did not become their first-choice keeper until the 2005–06 season when he took over from Davide Taini.

He saved three penalty kicks in the penalty shootout in the quarterfinal of the Swiss Cup against FC Aarau.

His achievements were noticed by Ottmar Hitzfeld and he was included in four squads for the Swiss national team without making an appearance. Leoni earned his first cap for the Swiss on 10 August 2011 after coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–1 win over Liechtenstein in a friendly match. He had previously been part of their 2010 FIFA World Cup squad but did not feature.

Leoni joined AC Omonia for the 2012–13 season after he agreed terms with the club in the January transfer window. He commented that, in order to join Omonia, he sacrificed a position in the national team of Switzerland. He played three matches in the league and two matches in the UEFA Europa League. He also won the Supercup of Cyprus.

In February 2013 Leoni joined Azerbaijan Premier League side Neftchi Baku on loan till the end of the season.
