Career
Born in Reading, Berkshire, Fisher began his career at hometown club Eldon Celtic, before moving on to Farnborough.[1] He then signed his first professional contract in the summer of 2011 when he joined Celtic.[2] Fisher made his first team debut for Celtic on 19 October 2013 against Hibernian at Easter Road. Fisher got this opportunity to play at right-back for the first team due to Adam Matthews and Mikael Lustig both being injured.[3] The young defender got an extended run in the team and made a further 12 appearances.[4] An injury sustained in March 2014 ruled Fisher for the rest of the season, but Celtic went on to win the league title and he made enough appearances to collect a league winner's medal.[5][6]
Fisher returned to playing football for the Development Side in September 2014.[5] He made his first appearance of the season for the first team on 11 December 2014 when he came on as a substitute for the under-performing Matthews in Celtic's 4–3 defeat away against Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League.[7][8] Fisher made a further four substitute appearances in League and League Cup games from January to March 2015.[7] He was an unused substitute in Celtic's 2–0 win over Dundee United on 15 March 2015 in the 2015 Scottish League Cup Final, entitling him to a winner's medal.[9] On 25 August 2015, Fisher was loaned to St Johnstone for the rest of the 2015–16 season.[10]
Fisher signed a three-year contract with Rotherham United in August 2016.[11]
