Born in Kingston upon Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, Fry came through Hull City's youth system.[1] He made his first team debut as an 81st minute substitute for Scott Kerr in a 3–1 defeat at Port Vale in the Football League Trophy first round Northern section on 22 October 2002.[2] He signed his first professional contract with Hull on 16 December.[1] His league debut against Brentford in the final game of the 2004–05 season lasted only 32 minutes until he had to leave the pitch with an injury. He signed a new two-year contract with Hull in August 2005.[3] Fry joined Conference National side Halifax Town on a one-month loan on 24 August 2006.[4] This loan ended on 25 September when Halifax decided to allow him to return to Hull,[5] having made four appearances for the club.[6] He joined Conference North side Hinckley United on loan in October 2006 and he finished the loan with nine appearances and one goal.[7][8]
Fry was released by Hull in May 2007 and after trialling with newly-relegated League One club Leeds United during the summer he signed non-contract terms with Halifax on 9 August.[9][10][11] He was an unused substitute in their first two games of the season before dropping out of the squad. He signed for Conference North club Boston United on non-contract terms later in August.[12]
After being an unused substitute for Boston he opted to a move to Conference team York City on non-contract terms, in pursuit of a permanent deal, on 15 September.[13][14] He eventually signed a permanent contract at the club on 27 September.[15] He joined Northern Premier League Premier Division team North Ferriby United on loan in November 2007.[16] He made a scoring debut after nettng the winning goal in the 45th minute of a 1–0 victory over Eastwood Town on 24 November.[17] He returned to York after the loan concluded in January 2008,[18] having made 11 appearances and scored three goals for Ferriby.[17] His first start for York came playing as a wingback in a 2–0 victory at Farsley Celtic in the FA Trophy third round on 3 February.[19] This was followed by a second successive start in a 3–3 draw after extra time with Northwich Victoria in the Conference League Cup fifth round Northern section on 6 February, which York lost 3–2 in a penalty shootout, although he was substituted in the 52nd minute.[20]
Fry was released by York with immediate effect on 15 February and joined North Ferriby permanently.[21] He was nominated as a candidate for the Player of the Round award for the 2010–11 FA Cup third qualifying round for his performance against Vauxhall Motors,[22] but eventually missed out to Justin Marsden of Nuneaton Town.[23]
Fry was named in the Wales national under-15 team for a game against Northern Ireland in November 2000.[24] He later played for the under-16s before representing England at under-20 level,[25] making his debut as a half-time substitute in a 4–0 defeat to Russia in a friendly on 16 August 2005.[26][27]
