He made his professional football debut on 13 October 2008 in a Ligue 2 match against Guingamp coming on as a substitute playing 8 minutes.[1][2] Rémy also appeared in RC Lens's upset loss to Championnat de France amateur 2 side and lesser rivals Arras Football in the Coupe de France. He came on as a substitute in the 81st minute and played the entire extra time session before watching his club bow out 4–2 on penalties.[3]

Remy had a trial at Newcastle United F.C. along with Darnel Situ. Both Remy and Situ scored in their debut for the reserves in a 5-0 victory over Gateshead.

After a four-year with Lens, Rémy moved to the Ligue 2 side Dijon FCO on a three-year contract.
