League football

Levi played football for Maccabi Tel Aviv from the age of 13. When he was 15 he sustained an injury during play and was told to quit football for life. While in army service, Levi participated in IDF Chief of Staff cup, which led to signing with Hakoah Tel Aviv. In 1955, Levi transferred to Maccabi Haifa, where he played until 1958, at which point Levi put himself in "quarantine", a period of 12 months away from football after which he would be a free agent. At the end of the year, Levi signed with Hapoel Haifa, With whom Levi was the league's joint-top scorer in 1960–61 and 1961–62. In 1963, Levi transferred to Hapoel Ramat Gan, which played in the second division. The club topped the league that season and won promotion to Liga Leumit. The following season, the club won the championship, with Levi being the top scorer for the club, with 14 goals. In 1966, Levi was released, on his request from Hapoel Ramat Gan, and at first signed with Hapoel Kfar Saba, but a few days later signed with Maccabi Hadera. In 1968, Levi immigrated to Canada, where he stayed for four years, playing in the Canadian National Soccer League with local teams Montreal Hakoah and Superga, with whom he won the Quebec cup competition. Levi returned to Israel in 1972 and tried his hand in coaching at Hapoel Kafr Qasim, but retired from football after the season ended.
