Career

Fisher made his senior debut for Kilmarnock during the 2010–11 season, and spent a loan spell at Cowdenbeath.[1] Fisher would sign a long-term contract, which kept him until 2015.[2] He joined Hamilton Academical on loan in August 2012;[3] the loan deal was extended in January 2013.[4] Following a win at home against league leaders Morton, Fisher commented that he thought the victory would act as a "springboard" for the club in the latter stages of the season.[5] At the end of the 2012–13 season, Fisher returned to the club.[6]

In 2013–14 season, Fisher joined East Fife on an emergency one-month loan deal.[7] Fisher soon made an immediate impact by scoring on his debut, in a 1–0 win over Stenhousemuir.[8] After making a few appearances at East Fife, Kilmarnock released five players, including Fisher.[9] Following his release, Fisher joined East Fife on a free transfer.[10]

Fisher signed for Albion Rovers in June 2014.[11] [12] Fisher left Rovers in 2019.[13]
