Roei Leibovich

Roei Leibovich is an Israeli goalkeeper, born on 18 July 1983.

Roei started his professional football career in 2002, when joined his first professional club FC Bnei Yehuda from Tel Aviv. There he spent most of the time either warming the bench or participating in the reserve squad fixtures. A year later the player moved to lower divisions in order to get enough playing practice. First, he was sent on loan to FC Tirat Hacarmel and later joined FC Maccabi Herzliya as a free agent. However, he spent there just one season, before the return to Tirat Hacarmel, where he stayed for the next three campaigns.

In August 2008 Roei signed a long-term contract with FC Hapoel Ironi Nir from Ramat HaSharon. He was twice sent on loan to FC Tamra and FC Tirat during the period from 2008 to 2010, before finally establishing himself within the club. When he returned to the club after a loan spell in 2010, he got the role of the first-team second-choice goalkeeper.

Roei managed to start 8 times during the 2011/2012 season.
