[edit] Professional

During the 2005 and 2006 collegiate off season, Levey played as an amateur with the Cape Cod Crusaders of the USL Premier Development League.[1] In 2006, he earned All Eastern Confernce Goalkeeper honors.[2] In January 2007, the New York Red Bulls of Major League Soccer invited Levey to the team’s training camp, but did not offer him a contract. At the same time, the Atlanta Silverbacks drafted Levey with the sixth pick of the 2007 USL College Draft. However, he signed with the New Hampshire Phantoms of the USL Second Division in April 2007 instead.[3] He played in sixteen games, recording three shutouts. On March 14, 2008, Levey signed with the Carolina RailHawks of the USL First Division as a back up to Chris McClellan.
