Fraser signed for Inverness Caledonian Thistle in 2002. He was previously a talented shinty player with Glenurquhart Shinty Club but gave up the sport to pursue his professional ambitions.[1] His first team breakthrough came when Mark Brown signed for Celtic in January 2007. Fraser made a memorable save in a 3–2 home win over Celtic the following season and was first-choice at Inverness until he conceded five goals against Rangers on 1 November 2008, after which he was dropped in favour of Ryan Esson.
Fraser signed a pre-contract with Motherwell on 19 January 2009, and joined the club in the summer.[2] He made his Motherwell debut in the UEFA Europa League qualifying defeat against Llanelli and rarely featured for Motherwell due to the arrival of John Ruddy on loan from Everton. New signing Darren Randolph took his place as first-choice goalkeeper during Motherwell's pre-season and UEFA Europa League matches, again confining Fraser to the bench.
On the 31 August 2010, Fraser was released by Motherwell as he did not feature in the clubs plans.[3]
Fraser appeared as a trialist for Third Division team Montrose in a match against Albion Rovers.[4] However, Fraser left the club only a few days after in search for full-time football, something that Montrose could not provide despite willing to sign the player permanently.
On 11 October 2010, Fraser was registered with Maltese Premier League champions, Birkirkara. His contract as a professional goalkeeper will see him with the club at least till the end of the current season.
On 10 June 2011, Fraser returned to Scotland and joined Ross County of the First Division.[5]
