Van der Leegte made his debut as a 17 years old for PSV. After 2 seasons for PSV he was loaned to RKC Waalwijk. After 1 season in Waalwijk he signed a contract with the club. In the 2000/2001 season he was sold to FC Twente for 4 million gulden (approximately 1.8 million euros) at which he played 2 seasons. In his third season at the club he had a loan spell for his second time at RKC Waalwijk where he finished the season. In the summer of 2003 he signed a contract at ADO Den Haag. In Den Haag he really got his breakthrough, and many clubs from the Netherlands and from other country's were battling for his services. After the first half of the 2005/2006 campaign he signed a contract for VfL Wolfsburg. Among his teammates at VfL Wolfsburg, his fellow Dutch were Kevin Hofland and Rick Hoogendorp.
In May 2007 it was rumoured that van der Leegte would become Phillip Cocu's successor at PSV. A few days later PSV signed him for 2 years.
