Career

Fisher joined Lowland Football League side East Kilbride on loan in September 2019.[2] Fisher's season was cut short due to an ACL injury picked up in a reserve game, which required surgery and kept him out for six to nine months.[3]

After making his return, Fisher signed a new deal with Dundee, keeping him at the club until 2023. He then immediately joined Scottish League One side Forfar Athletic on loan until January.[4] Fisher made his league debut in a scoreless draw at home against Dumbarton.[5] In January 2021, following the three-week suspension of League One by the SFA and SPFL due to the worsening COVID-19 situation in Scotland, Fisher was recalled by Dundee.[6][7]

Fisher made his first start for Dundee in January 2021, in an away loss to Raith Rovers.[8] He would come on as a substitute in a home win over Arbroath.[9] Fisher would make four league appearances in total during the season, and would be an unused substitute when Dundee defeated Kilmarnock to win the Premiership play-offs and achieve promotion to the Premiership.[10]

In July 2021, Fisher would return on loan to Forfar Athletic, now in the Scottish League Two.[11] In August, Fisher would suffer an injury during training which would "rule him out for some time."[12] After sitting on the bench for the previous few games, Fisher would make his return to the pitch against Angus rivals Arbroath in the Scottish Cup.[13] After making a league start shortly after, Fisher would again suffer injury misfortune, taking a knock which worried manager Gary Irvine.[14] Fortunately this time, Fisher would recover much quicker and would return on Boxing Day, scoring his first senior goal for the Loons in a home game against Stenhousemuir.[15] On 29 January 2022, Fisher was recalled by Dundee.[16] He returned on loan to Forfar on 3 February for the remainder of the season.[17]

On 16 August 2022, Fisher joined Scottish League One side Dunfermline Athletic on a season-long loan.[18] He would make his debut off the bench on 3 September, in an away league victory over Queen of the South.[19] Fisher would be named to SPFL's Team of the Week in October after keeping a clean sheet and creating the winning goal in a league victory over F.C. Edinburgh.[20]
