Career

Garate was a part of River Plate's youth system, notably playing for the U20s at the 2012 U-20 Copa Libertadores in Peru; which the club won. Garate began playing for Tigre in the 2013–14 Argentine Primera División season, making his senior debut on 18 November 2013 during a 2–1 win over Newell's Old Boys. In the following 2014 campaign, Garate scored goals against Godoy Cruz and Lanús as Tigre qualified for the 2015 Copa Sudamericana. In August 2016, Garate joined 1. divisjon side Sandefjord. He departed five months later having not featured, though he was an unused substitute for a fixture with Bryne.

2017 saw Garate switch Norway for Argentina as he agreed to sign for Deportivo Rincón of Torneo Federal B.{{cite news|title=Gran presente de Garate en Rincón de los Sauces|url=http://elsurdiario.com.ar/?p=48690|accessdate=1 December 2018|work=El Sur Diario|date=17 October 2017}} Eight goals in twenty fixtures followed.{{cite news|title=Ficha Estadistica de LEANDRO GARATE|url=http://www.bdfa.com.ar/jugadores-LEANDRO-JULIAN-GARATE-96876.html|accessdate=1 December 2018|work=BDFA}} Primera B Nacional's Brown completed the signing of Garate in January 2018.{{cite news|title=Garate seguirá en Brown de Adrogué|url=https://launion.com.ar/garate-seguira-en-brown-de-adrogue/|accessdate=1 December 2018|work=La Unión|date=19 November 2018}} His first appearance arrived on 3 February versus Deportivo Morón, which preceded his first goal for them a week later against Atlético de Rafaela. Garate was loaned to Arsenal de Sarandí in January 2019. He scored five goals in twelve matches for them, including the winning strike in the championship play-off against Sarmiento; which secured Arsenal promotion and the title.{{cite news|title=Leandro Garate: "Me tuve confianza para patear el penal"|url=https://www.rionegro.com.ar/leandro-garate-me-tuve-confianza-para-patear-el-penal-965862/|accessdate=17 December 2020|work=Diario Río Negro|date=30 April 2019}}

July 2019 saw Garate leave Arsenal, and subsequently Brown, to move to Chile with Barnechea of Primera B. He scored twice on his first home start against Deportes Copiapó on 16 August, which preceded a goal against San Luis and a brace versus Rangers across eleven appearances in his first five months. On 2021 season, he joined club Coquimbo Unido.{{cite web |title=Desde Santa Fe, Argentina desembarca en el puerto AURINEGRO el formado en River Plate y exgoleador huaicochero |url=https://twitter.com/coquimbounido/status/1366404578959368192 |publisher=Coquimbo Unido |access-date=1 March 2021 |language=es |date=1 March 2021}}
