He has so far made six outings with an assist for the second-tier side.

Leweling was born to a Ghanaian father and a German mother which quality him eligible to represent any of the two countries.

He featured for German at the U-19 and U-20 levels.

Leweling joined Greuther Fürth at age 16 from FC Nurnberg on a free transfer.

He made his professional debut for Greuther Fürth in the Bundesliga II on 28 July 2019, coming on as a substitute in the 85th minute for Tobias Mohr in the home match against Erzgebirge Aue.
