Leroy played in the right-back position in most of the matches and scored his first goal against NAC Breda on March 30, 2008. Leroy became a first team regular during the 2008-2009 season and celebrated his European debut as a starting line-up player in the UEFA Cup match against Kalmar FF in September 2008. Feyenoord lost (0-1), but in the return game in Sweden, he scored the winning goal (1-2).
