Fleury began his professional career in his native Ligue Magnus with his hometown team Drakkars de Caen. After tenures with Ours de Villard-de-Lans and Brûleurs de Loups of Grenoble, Fleury moved to Sweden in 2010 with VIK Västerås HK of the HockeyAllsvenskan. A year later, he moved to the top-tier Elitserien with spells at Luleå HF and Timrå IK before moving back down to HockeyAllsvenskan with Södertälje SK. He also had a brief spell in Switzerland's National League A with Lausanne HC.
In 2014, Fleury returned to Sweden's top-tier league, now called the Swedish Hockey League, with Djurgårgens IF after a mid-season transfer from Finnish Liiga club, Sport.[2] On 16 April 2015, Fleury signed a one-year contract to join German club, Schwenninger Wild Wings of the DEL for the 2015–16 season.[3] He left the Wild Wings upon the conclusion of the 2015-16 season and was one of the first players to join the newest member of the Kontinental Hockey League, the Chinese team Kunlun Red Star.[4]
Fleury participated at the 2013 and 2011 IIHF World Championship as a member of the France men's national ice hockey team.[5]
