In March 2008, Kitchee submitted the player list for 2008 AFC Cup. Leung was selected and listed on the list. Just a month later, on 26 April 2008, Leung Ka Hai made his senior career debut against Lanwa Redbull as a 75th-minute substitute. At the age of 15 years and 4 days, Leung was the youngest-ever debutante in the Hong Kong First Division League, a record previously held by his teammate Lo Kwan Yee.[2]In the summer of 2011, Leung was loaned to Hong Kong Second Division club Tai Chung. However, in January 2012, he was called back to Kitchee for the 2012 AFC Cup. Leung joined Sun Hei on loan from Kitchee until the end of 2013–2014 season.[3]

On 31 January 2018, Dreams announced that they had signed Leung.[4]
