Leonardo Ezequiel Godoy (born 28 April 1995) is an Argentine footballer who plays as a right-back for Campeonato Brasileiro Série B club Athletico Paranaense.

Career

Early career

Born in Concordia, Godoy played as a midfielder for local side Club Salto Grande, and also had a failed trial at Vélez Sarsfield. He later moved to Atlético Rafaela in 2010, where he was converted into a right-back by manager Víctor Bottaniz [es].

Atlético Rafaela

After progressing in the youth categories, Godoy made his first team – and Primera División – debut on 10 April 2015, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Crucero del Norte. He immediately became a starter for the side, and scored his first senior goal on 10 August, in a 5–1 Copa Argentina home routing of Deportivo Merlo; he was later sent off in that match.

Talleres

In July 2016, Godoy was transferred to Talleres de Córdoba, after the club purchased 80% of his economic rights. He became an immediate first-choice for the side, rarely missing a match for the club.

In September 2020, amidst transfer rumours to Estudiantes, Godoy signed a new two-year contract with Talleres.

Estudiantes

On 16 September 2020, Godoy was loaned to Estudiantes until December 2021, with a buyout clause. On 15 December 2021, the club exercised his clause, purchasing 50% of his economic rights for a fee of US$ 1 million.

Godoy was a first-choice during his entire spell at the Pincharratas, helping the club to win their first-ever Copa Argentina title in 2023.

Athletico Paranaense

On 6 January 2024, Godoy was announced at Campeonato Brasileiro Série A side Athletico Paranaense, signing a four-year deal. He shared the starting spot with Madson during the campaign, as the club suffered relegation.
