A hard-working midfielder, Fleming spent some time playing for Carlton reserves and was seen by many as a chance to make the full list. Unfortunately for Fleming, he was overlooked by Carlton but managed to get drafted at pick 41 in the 2002 National Draft by Richmond, where he would play 34 games from 2003 to 2004. Fleming was involved in a controversial incident where St Kilda star Nick Riewoldt was knocked unconscious and carried from the ground.
Before arriving at Richmond he played with Carlton, winning the last Carlton stand alone reserve best and fairest in 2002. Originally from Broadford where he played his junior football, along with Assumption College, he later played for Old Xaverians FC winning 5 premierships before being drafted as mature recruit to Carlton FC. Fleming also played one year with South Adelaide Panthers in the SANFL coming runners up best and fairest. He returned to Old Xaverians FC to captain the club to a premiership in 2009. Fleming captained the Victorian Amateur Football Association on a number of occasions, leading the team to a narrow victory against the Eastern Football League in the 2009 Bush Fire Appeal exhibition match. Fleming more recently has represented the Malaysian Warriors Australian Rules Football Club within the AFL Asia competition during the 2015 season, with his debut against Jakarta Bintangs resulting in a 7-goal haul, of which he won best on field honours. Fleming would play a part in the Warriors campaign to take out the Asian Australian Football Championships in October 2015.
Fleming was originally recruited from Broadford via VAFA Club Old Xaverians.
