Sérgio Barbosa Dias Leite (born 16 August 1979 in Porto) is a Portuguese footballer who plays as a goalkeeper.
After emerging from local Boavista FC's youth ranks, Leite found it hard to find a spot in the first team, barred by William Andem first then Ricardo; he went on to serve four loans in the lower leagues – F.C. Maia, S.C. Espinho, F.C. Penafiel and Leça FC.
Definitely released in 2003, Leite then had two unassuming spells in England, first with Charlton Athletic,[1][2] which also loaned him to A.D. Ovarense back in his country, then with Hull City[3] (with the latter until February 2006, with only one Football League Cup appearance to his credit).
Leite then continued his journey, playing in 2006–07 for two Romanian clubs, then spending the following season in Cyprus with lowly Atromitos Yeroskipou. In the 2008 summer, he returned to Boavista, immersed in a deep financial crisis and now in the second division (soon to be third).
For 2009–10, Leite moved teams again, joining Gondomar S.C. – also in level three – a team to which former Boavista chairman Valentim Loureiro also had connections. He left the club in June 2011 at the age of 32.
