## Career[edit]

### Europe[edit]

Lefebvre joined the Bordeaux academy in 2010, where he played until 2016. Lefebvre appeared on the bench twice for the first team in August 2015, but never made a first team appearance.[1]

Following his release from Bordeaux and a trial with Birmingham City,[2] on 25 July 2016 Lefebvre joined National League side Forest Green Rovers on a two-year deal.[3] On 1 December 2016, he made a one-month loan to fellow National League side Bishop's Stortford.[4] Lefebvre left Forest Green on 25 July 2017, without making a first team appearance for the club.[5]

### United States[edit]

In 2018, Lefebvre moved to the United States to play college soccer at Temple University. In two seasons with the Owls, Lefebvre made 35 appearances and in 2019, he was named All-AAC Second Team.[1]

Whilst at college, Lefebvre also spent time with USL League Two side Reading United AC, where he made a single regular season appearance for them, as well as four appearances in the play-offs.[6]

On 9 January 2020, Lefebvre was drafted 21st overall in the 2020 MLS SuperDraft by D.C. United.[7] On 3 March 2020, he signed with D.C. United's USL Championship affiliate side Loudoun United.[8] He made his debut for Loudoun on 23 August 2020, starting against Hartford Athletic, a game that ended in a 2–2 draw.[9]

Lefebvre signed with Louisville City FC on 5 January 2021.[10]

In September 2021, Lefebvre reunited with Brendan Burke, his coach at Reading United, by joining Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC on a loan deal.[11]

Following the 2021 season, Louisville opted to decline their contract option on Lefebvre.[12]
