Before beginning his pro career Fraser was a standout striker for the University of Memphis where he led Conference USA in goals (18) and points (42) in earning All-Conference honours in 2001.[1] He began his professional career in the USL A-League with Calgary Storm in 2003. His signing was announced on April 21, 2003 in a press report.[2].

The following season he signed with his hometown club the Edmonton Aviators, a expansion franchise for the 2004 season.[3] He made his debut for the club on May 1, 2004 in a 0-0 draw against the Vancouver Whitecaps (1986–2010).[4] With Edmonton, Fraser recorded four goals and two assists.

On May 10, 2005 it was announced that Fraser signed a contract with the Toronto Lynx.[5] He made his debut for the club on April 23, 2005 in a match against the Portland Timbers (2001–10), which resulted in a 3-0 defeat.[6] He recorded his first goal for the club on May 31, 2005 in a match against the Rochester Rhinos in a 5-3 defeat.[7] He concluded the season with Toronto with 3 goals and 3 assists.

In 2006, he and Lynx team mate Rumbani Munthali both signed for Nanchang Bayi in the Jia League to a two-year contract. In December, 2008 he signed a contract with the Edmonton Drillers in the Canadian Major Indoor Soccer League.
