In January 2002, he was named in the starting line-up for a 3–0 victory over Newtown in the FAW Premier Cup, scoring his side’s first goal of the match with a header. However, he was substituted in the second half by manager Alan Cork for “showboating”. He was named as an unused substitute for a league match against Wycombe Wanderers in but, less than a month later, Jeanne was admitted to the Priory Hospital in am attempt to overcome an alcohol problem. Cardiff manager Cork stated his belief that Jeanne had a “big problem” with alcohol and that he kept a breathalyzer in his office and had once taken Jeanne to a local Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. In May 2002 Jeanne was selected for random drugs testing and sent his sample away but the results came back only to show that the sample he had submitted was not urine. He refused to provide a second sample which led to Cardiff terminating his contract and he left the club.

A talented winger, Jeanne was spotted at the age of ten by Arsenal scout Eddie Prenderville. He spent time with the London-based club as a schoolboy before joining Queens Park Rangers on a YTS scheme at the age of thirteen. He made his debut on February 1999 against Watford, but problems began to arise nearly as soon as he became a professional when he disappeared for over a week when he was meant to be reporting for Wales under-21 duty. However, manager Gerry Francis revealed that it was not the first time the youngster had gone missing, stating “We’ve covered up for Leon enough now. This is not a one off.” Francis also commented that Jeanne was on his last chance at the club after being arrested for drink-driving the previous year.
He left QPR in 2001 to sign for his hometown club Cardiff City in the hope of ending his disciplinary problems. The transfer was arranged by Jeanne’s agent John Fashanu who had worked with Cardiff chairman Sam Hammam at his former club Wimbledon and described how Hammam had been a positive influence over him and hoped that he could do the same for Jeanne. However, just weeks after joining, he tested positive for a class A drug and was handed a two-year suspended sentence by the Football Association of Wales. The FAW also stipulated that Jeanne should undergo an education programme to help him learn to read and write and find a family to live with, eventually moving into the home of former Cardiff player Ronnie Bird.
After the case ended he returned to football with Newport County followed by spells at Dinas Powys and Barry Town. After a spell playing for Maesteg Park, Jeanne joined amateur side Carpenters Arms. On 7 July 2009, Jeanne was arrested on suspicion of money-laundering after a police raid on his home.
