Fleurquin started playing football with local Defensor Sporting. In 1999, he moved abroad for the first time, joining SK Sturm Graz in Austria, and being regularly used by the club during two 1/2 Bundesliga seasons, with two runner-up league finishes.
In January 2002, Fleurquin signed for Galatasaray SK in Turkey, being a very important first-team unit as the team won another Süper Lig championship. After one year in France with Stade Rennais FC, he moved to Spain where he would remain for the following seven years.
Fleurquin started in Segunda División with Córdoba CF. For 2004–05, he continued in that level and Andalusia, but eventually attained La Liga promotion with Cádiz CF, being immediately relegated back, with the player appearing in 30 games and scoring once - on 2 October 2005, in a 1–1 home draw against Celta de Vigo.
From 2007–10, Fleurquin obtained one second division promotion with Cádiz, but was also relegated twice from the category, while collecting 34 yellow cards combined. In July 2010, aged nearly 35, he returned to first club Defensor, after 11 years.[1]
Fleurquin gained 11 caps for Uruguay during five years, his debut coming in 1997.
He was selected for two Copa América tournaments, being regularly used during the 1999 edition in Paraguay, as the national team finished second to Brazil.
