Club career

Born in York, Fielding began his career with York City, and made his debut on 8 October 2016 against Braintree Town, playing 90 minutes in a 1–1 draw.[2] He made a second appearance the following week in a FA Cup qualifying game against Curzon Ashton.[3] He was praised for his mentality and described by the York Press as "one for the future",[4] and was offered a new contract at the end of the season.[5] but made the move to fellow Yorkshire side Barnsley. He signed a contract extension with Barnsley in 2019,[6] but was released a year later.[7]

He signed for EFL League Two side Salford City in September, and made his début for the club on 29 September in the EFL Trophy against Morecambe. He was an 85th-minute substitute for James Wilson as Salford City won 2–0.[8] At the end of the 2020–21 season, it was announced that he would be leaving the club.[9]

Following his release from Salford, he returned to National League North side York City, following a successful trial period.[10]

On 22 January 2022, Fielding signed an 18-month contract with National League North side Bradford (Park Avenue).[11]

Following Bradford (Park Avenue)'s relegation at the end of the 2022–23, Fielding remained in the National League North with Spennymoor Town.[12] In March 2024, he joined Northern Premier League Premier Division club Hyde United on loan until the end of the season.[13]

In June 2024, Fielding joined fellow National League North side Farsley Celtic following his departure from Spennymoor Town.[14] He departed the club by mutual consent in February 2025.[15] On 24 February, he joined Marine.[16]
