In 2018, Lefebvre moved to the United States to play college soccer at Temple University. In two seasons with the Owls, Lefebvre made 35 appearances and in 2019, he was named All-AAC Second Team.[1]

Whilst at college, Lefebvre also spent time with USL League Two side Reading United AC, where he made a single regular season appearance for them, as well as four appearances in the play-offs.[6]

On 9 January 2020, Lefebvre was drafted 21st overall in the 2020 MLS SuperDraft by D.C. United.[7] On 3 March 2020, he signed with D.C. United's USL Championship affiliate side Loudoun United.[8] He made his debut for Loudoun on 23 August 2020, starting against Hartford Athletic, a game that ended in a 2–2 draw.[9]

Lefebvre signed with Louisville City FC on 5 January 2021.[10]

In September 2021, Lefebvre reunited with Brendan Burke, his coach at Reading United, by joining Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC on a loan deal.[11]

Following the 2021 season, Louisville opted to decline their contract option on Lefebvre.[12]
