Fleming made his debut for Wrexham as a substitute for Steve Evans on 21 January 2007 during a 1–1 draw with Darlington in League Two[3] and made his first start on 18 February in a 0–0 draw with Chester City.[4] During the 2008–09 season, under new manager Dean Saunders Fleming managed to claim a regular place in the first team and was rewarded with a contract extension.[5]

In July 2019, Fleming announced his retirement as a player, aged 31, due to a knee injury.[8]
