Early years

León is a product of Alianza Lima. In May 2015, he went on a trial at Hércules CF since he also had a European passport.[2] The trial went well and he was offered to return in August. During the trial, León also played a friendly game for the club's B-team.[3]

Deportivo Municipal

León joined Deportivo Municipal from Alianza Lima in 2016 and was later promoted to the club's reserve team, where he also became the captain. After good performances, he was called up for two Peruvian Primera División games in 2017, however, he remained on the bench in both games.[4] He made his official debut on 25 November 2018 against Sport Huancayo.[5]

In 2019, León was loaned out to UTC Cajamarca, where he made six appearances.[4] He returned to Deportivo Municipal for the 2020 season.
