When he was 8 Leyva and his family moved to Northern Texas it was his uncle was the reason that they moved there. Luckily for him it would become better for him as he was a substitute for his first Professional footballer game ever at the 77th minute against LA Galaxy. His first professional appearance would also motivate the coaches to show his developmental skills.[1]
He only recently joined the team as he had a stint with Mexico U-18 football team where they went to Spain.[2]
Leyva joined the FC Dallas Development Academy in June 2008 as a member of the U-16 team. He helped lead the team to a second-place finish in that year's MLS/SUM U-17 Cup.[3] The midfielder also had training stints with Lille OSC in France and Racing Santander in Spain.[4]
In 2009, FC Dallas General Manager Michael Hitchcock announced that Leyva had been signed to its professional team. The signing made Leyva the first homegrown player in FC Dallas history. Over the next few years, he did not receive much playing time and was released by Dallas on November 7, 2012.[5] After a stint in Mexico, he returned to Dallas to join lower league side, DCFC.
In a game against Philadelphia Union he recorded his first assist to Blas Pérez where they went halftime into winning.[6]
He has his own Facebook account where he hasn’t posted since 2022.[7]
