In Zulte Waregem, the Senegalese will find the club which made him known as a player in Belgium. After a first stint between 2007 and 2009, he returned to Essevee from 2012 to 2014 after a season at La Gantoise and two seasons at Standard.
On the Flandrian bench, Leye takes the place of the duo composed of Timmy Simons et Davy de Fauw who had taken over the team in December after the dismissal of Francky Dury.
This season, Zulte Waregem finished in 16th place in the Jupiler Pro League, narrowly avoiding the play-off against the 2nd in the D1B.
