Lesueur began his career with Ajaccio in 2006, when the club were playing in Ligue 1, the top division in France. After playing for Ajaccio's youth and reserve sides, Lesueur progressed to the first team. He made his first and only senior appearance for Ajaccio in the 3–1 win over AS Saint-Étienne on 13 May 2006, coming on as a late substitute for Mathieu Scarpelli.[1] However, despite this appearance Lesueur found first-team action hard to come by. He spent 2006–07 and 2007–08 playing for the club's reserve side, before returning to the first team in 2008–09 and scoring once in seven appearances as the club finished mid-table in Ligue 2. His goal came as a late consolation in a 2–1 loss to Dijon FCO on 30 January 2009. [2] Lesueur left Ajaccio in 2010 to join another Corsica-based club, GFCO Ajaccio.
Joining in the 2009–10 season, Lesueur scored three times in seventeen games for GFCO Ajaccio. [3] That season, Ajaccio finished as runners-up of the Championnat de France amateur, France's fourth division. He left the club on 18 June 2010 to sign for FC Istres of Ligue 2.
Lesueur made his debut for Istres in a 0–0 draw with Stade Reims on 17 August 2010, coming on as a late substitute for Paul Kessany. [4] He went on to make seventeen appearances in 2010-11, but he only played the full ninety minutes in one of these games, against former club AC Ajaccio in a 2–0 loss on 20 May 2011. [5]
