Professional[]

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 after he was injured in the pre-season. At the same time, the Atlanta Silverbacks drafted Levey with the sixth pick of the 2007 USL College Draft. He declined to sign with the Silverbacks to pursue a contract with the Red Bull. After, New York released him, he signed with the New Hampshire Phantoms of the USL Second Division in April 2007.[4] 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, and continued with the team into the 2009 season as cover for first-choice goalkeepers Caleb Patterson-Sewell and Eric Reed.
