Floquet's first-class career of just six matches was spread over six seasons between 1904–05 and 1910–11. He batted right-handed in the middle to lower part of the order and bowled medium-pace occasionally. He appeared in the Third Test of the series against England on their tour of 1909-10, which was played at the Old Wanderers Ground in Johannesburg, as were all Floquet's first-class matches.[2] He scored 1 and 11 not out and took 0 for 24 with the ball.[3]
Floquet married Clara Dodd in Johannesburg in May 1912.[4] His older brother Bertram also played for Transvaal.[5]
