Leonardo Blanchard (born 6 May 1988) is an Italian footballer who plays as a centre-back.

Club career

Born in Grosseto, Tuscany, Blanchard started his career at his hometown club Sauro Rispescia, located in Rispescia frazione.

Siena

On 30 August 2005 he was signed by Serie A team Siena, which is also a Tuscan team. He played for its Berretti team[1] (B team of under-20 age group or U-18 team). In the next season he left for Poggibonsi, but in January 2007 left for Serie D team Sangimignano; the team was relegated to Eccellenza Tuscany at the end of season. Blanchard was promoted to the Primavera under-20 team of Siena in 2007–08 season.[2] [3]

In 2008, he left for Valle del Giovenco, his first team outside Tuscany, where he spent seasons.[4] [5] [6] At the end of the 2010 winter (January) transfer window, he left for Pergocrema, with Fabrizio Di Bella moving in the opposite direction on a temporary deal.[7] He played both legs of the relegation "play-out".[8] [9]

In July 2010 he left for Pavia.[10] [11] [12] He was a call-up to Siena's pre-season camp in 2011.[13] He played a few friendlies[14] [15] [16] before he left the club on 20 July.[17] [18]

Frosinone

On 9 August 2012 he left for Frosinone.[19] [20] On 19 June 2013 Frosinone bought Blanchard's registration rights definitively for a peppercorn fee of €1,000.[21] [22]

On 23 September 2015, Blanchard made Frosinone club history by scoring the equalizing goal in the closing minute of stoppage time in a 1–1 draw against Serie A giants, Juventus. This was Frosinone's first historical Serie A point.[23] Blanchard also revealed it was "an emotional moment" especially since he declared to have been a Juventus fan for a long time.[24]

Carpi

In mid-2016 he was signed by Carpi. He joined the pre-season camp circa 22 July.[25] He was assigned No.23 shirt.[26] On 30 January 2017 Blanchard left for Brescia on loan.[27]

Blanchard returned to Carpi in mid-2017. However, he was left out from the squad for 2017–18 Serie B season.

On 31 January 2018 Blanchard left for Alessandria.[28] Blanchard was released by Carpi in July 2018 in a mutual consent.[29]
