Gary Fraser (born 2 July 1994) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays for Partick Thistle, as a defender and midfielder.

Career

Fraser began his career as a youth player at Celtic,[1] before making his professional debut for Hamilton Academical on 27 August 2011.[2] He turned down a move to English club Bolton Wanderers in January 2013.[3] He was released by Hamilton in May 2013.[4]

Fraser scored twice as a trialist for Partick Thistle in a pre-season friendly against Annan Athletic in a 5–1 victory in early July 2013. [5]

On 11 July 2013 it was announced that Fraser had signed a two year contract with Bolton Wanderers.[1][6]

On 23 July 2013 he moved to Partick Thistle on a 6-month loan deal.[7][8] After attacking an opponent in an U20 league fixture against Dunfermline Athletic in October 2013, Fraser was cited by the SFA compliance officer and faced a potential one-year ban from Scottish football.[9][10] Fraser was eventually banned for a total of nine games, running until 1 January 2014.[11] The ban ends three days before his loan deal expires, and the club stated they were considering extending it.[12] On 6 January 2014, Fraser returned to Bolton after his loan with Partick Thistle came to an end.[13] Four days later, on 10 January 2014, he signed a permanent two-and-a-half year contract with Partick.[14]
