Career

[edit]

Fisher began his career at the age of 8 in the youth team of AFC Wimbledon. He gradually rose through the youth teams. He gained his first experience of adult football on loan at South Park FC.[1] Fisher joined Carshalton Athletic on loan and scored a hat trick in the FA Cup within a haul of 6 goals in as many games, before non-league football was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. He then went to Hampton & Richmond Borough in November 2020, but Wimbledon kept his player registration.[2]

Fisher made his professional debut for Wimbledon in the EFL Cup at home at Plough Lane against Gillingham on 9 August 2022.[3] He was released at the end of the 2022–23 season.[4]

On 1 September 2023, Fisher signed for Irish Premiership side Glentoran on one-year deal. After a successful first season in which he scored 14 goals across all competitions, Fisher extended his contract with the club. In the 2024/2025 season, Fisher won the County Antrim Shield with the club, starting in 4 of the 5 matches, including the final.[1]
