Career

Early career

Fraser was in the Celtic youth system,[1] before making his professional debut for Hamilton Academical on 27 August 2011.[2] He turned down a move to English club Bolton Wanderers in January 2013.[3] He was released by Hamilton in May 2013.[4]

Fraser scored twice as a trialist for Partick Thistle in a pre-season friendly against Annan Athletic in a 5–1 victory in early July 2013.[5]

On 11 July 2013 it was announced that Fraser had signed a two-year contract with Bolton Wanderers.[1][6]

Partick Thistle

On 23 July 2013 he moved to Partick Thistle on a 6-month loan deal.[7][8] After attacking an opponent in an U20 league fixture against Dunfermline Athletic in October 2013, Fraser was cited by the SFA compliance officer and faced a potential one-year ban from Scottish football.[9][10] Fraser was eventually banned for a total of nine games, running until 1 January 2014.[11] The ban ends three days before his loan deal expires, and the club stated they were considering extending it.[12] On 6 January 2014, Fraser returned to Bolton after his loan with Partick Thistle came to an end.[13] Four days later, on 10 January 2014, he signed a permanent two-and-a-half-year contract with Thistle.[14]

Following a successful survival campaign in the 2013–14 Scottish Premiership season, Fraser signed a further contract, keeping him at Firhill until 2017.[15] Fraser suffered a serious knee injury that caused him to miss the whole of the 2016/17 season. He signed a short-term contract with Thistle in the summer of 2017, and made his first competitive appearance for 18 months in November 2017.[16] In December, Fraser apologised for hitting a Celtic supporter by kicking a football into the stand.[17] In early January, his contract was extended to the end of the 2017–18 season.[16]

Fraser was loaned to Championship club Greenock Morton in March 2018.[18] Partick Thistle were relegated via the playoffs at the end of the 2017/18 season. Following that relegation, Fraser was one of many players released by Thistle.[19]

During the 2018 close season, Fraser signed for Forfar Athletic.[20] Later that season he signed for Cowdenbeath.[21]

He moved to Broomhill in May 2022.[22]
