Following a successful trial period with VVV Venlo he signed a two-year contract on 16 July 2021.[5] On 8 August 2021 in the first league match of the season against NAC Breda he made his professional debut in a 2–2 draw. Leliendal scored his first goal for VVV on 26 October 2021 against NAC Brada in the KNVB Cup.[6] At the end of January 2022 transfer window he was loaned for the rest of the season to TOP Oss.[7] Leliendal commented that this move was a success and he was able to get playing minutes and was able to develop as a player.[8]

He initially represented Belgium, from 2017 to 2018, winning 10 caps with the national under-16 team and two with the under-17 side – all of these 12 matches being friendly.[1] In 2019, he made an official appearance for the Netherlands national under-17 team,[2] being part of the squad that reached the semifinals at the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Brazil.[14]
