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]
