During the 1967 and 1968 seasons, he represented Hvidovre IF, where he scored six goals. One of them was in the Danish Cup final, where Carlsen scored the second goal in a 2-0 victory against Esbjerg fB.
In 1970 he transferred to the Swedish team Landskrona BoIS. In August 1970, Leif Carlsen famously scored the only goal in the league's division promotion qualifiers. After further success, the team was promoted to the Swedish league Allsvenskan. At the time, however, non-Swedish citizens were not allowed to play in the top Swedish league and Leif Carlsen could no longer play with Landskrona BoIS in 1971.
