Alexander Anthony Fisher (born 30 June 1990) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward.
Born in London [4] and educated at Abingdon School, [5] Fisher played youth football with Oxford United. After impressing in the youth and reserve teams, he was promoted to the senior squad. [6]
Fisher scored his first senior goal in January 2008 at 17 years old in a 4–0 home league win against Altrincham. [7]
Fisher joined Southern League team Brackley Town in March 2008 on loan, [8] scoring three goals in five starts. [4] Another loan to Oxford City followed in early 2009, [9] where he netted 12 goals in 16 games. [4]
After being released by Oxford United, [10] Fisher joined the Glenn Hoddle Academy in Spain, which aimed to offer a route back to professional football for players released by their clubs. [11] [12] During his time at the academy, he received coaching from Graham Rix, Dave Beasant and Nigel Spackman. [13] In September 2010, the academy took over Spanish club Jerez Industrial in the fourth-tier Tercera División, giving Fisher the opportunity to play senior football. [14] He went on to make 21 league appearances, scoring 11 goals, but could not prevent relegation after the club received a points deduction. [4] [15] By the end of the season the academy had cut ties with Jerez Industrial and relocated to the UK. [16] [17]
In March 2012, Fisher signed for Belgian Second Division side KVK Tienen until the end of the season. [18] [19] He played nine games in all competitions, scoring once, but suffered a second successive relegation after losing in the play-offs to UR La Louvière Centre. [20]
Fisher spent the next season with K.R.C. Mechelen in the Belgian Third Division, [21] scoring seven goals in 30 appearances in all competitions. [4] The team finished second in the league, [22] falling short in the promotion play-offs against A.S. Verbroedering Geel. [23] [24]
In July 2013, Fisher moved up a division, signing for K.S.K. Heist. [25] He made two appearances for the club. [4]
After just seven weeks with KSK Heist, Fisher joined Italian team A.C. Monza Brianza 1912, playing in the fourth-tier Lega Pro Seconda Divisione. [26]
On 4 June 2014 Fisher returned to England, signing for Mansfield Town in League Two. [27] He scored his first goal for the club in the League Cup against Sheffield United. [28] He was released by Mansfield at the end of the 2014–15 season. [29]
On 5 August 2015, Fisher signed for National League team Torquay United. [30] Fisher scored on his debut in a 1–0 win over Macclesfield Town, [31] and went on to score another winning goal in a 3–2 win against Halifax Town a week later. [32] In December 2015 Fisher was released by the club, after requesting his contract be terminated for personal reasons. [33]
On 9 January 2016, Fisher signed for Scottish Premiership club Inverness Caledonian Thistle on a deal until the end of the season, with an option for the club to extend that by another year. [34] However, he made just three substitute appearances before chipping a bone in his ankle, ruling him out for the season. He signed a further six-month contract with the club in May 2016. [35] In November 2016, his contract was extended to the end of the season. [36] In total, he scored eight goals in 28 games in all competitions for the club. [4]
After Inverness's relegation from the Premiership, Fisher signed a two-year contract with Motherwell in June 2017. [37] He failed to score a goal in 19 appearances for Motherwell, and was released from his contract in January 2018. [38] [39]
Fisher signed for EFL League Two side Yeovil Town on 26 January 2018, making his debut in the FA Cup against Manchester United. [40] [41] At the end of the 2018–19 season, Fisher was released by Yeovil following the club's relegation from the Football League. [42]
On 25 June 2019, Fisher signed for League Two side Exeter City. [43] He scored his first goal for the club in November, in a 1–1 draw against Cambridge United in the first round of the FA Cup. [44] His first league goal for the club came in December, in a 3–2 win against Northampton Town. [45]
On 12 May 2021, it was announced that Fisher would leave Exeter at the end of the season, following the expiry of his contract. [46]
On 14 August 2021, Fisher signed for League Two side Newport County on a one-year contract. [47] He made his debut for Newport on the same day as a second-half substitute in a 2–1 defeat against Mansfield Town. [48] Fisher scored his first goal for Newport in a 1–0 win over Tranmere Rovers on 21 August 2021. [49] He was released by Newport County at the end of the 2021–22 season. [50]
On 14 July 2022, Fisher returned to National League club Yeovil Town on a two-year deal. [51]
He suffered a horrific double leg break in a collision with Southend United's goalkeeper during their match at Huish Park on 1 April 2023. [52] [53]
On 5 January 2024, Fisher rejoined National League side Oxford City on a one-month loan deal. [54]
At the end of the 2023–24 season, Fisher was released by Yeovil following the club's promotion from the National League South. [55]
