Alexander Anthony Fisher (born 30 June 1990) is an English professional footballer who plays for Motherwell. He plays primarily as a forward but has experience in all positions, including in goal.
Born in London and educated at Abingdon School, Fisher joined Oxford United FC whilst playing for St. Edmunds at the age of seven under Peter Rhodes Brown where he went all the way through the Centre of Excellence helping win the Under-18s Youth Team Championship in the 2006–07 season. At age 16 whilst still at school he was called up to the first team and given the number 45 shirt by then manager Jim Smith. During his time in the first team Fisher held three shirt numbers – 45, 37 and 17 – and played for three different managers – Jim Smith, Darren Patterson and Chris Wilder.
Fisher scored his first senior league goal in January 2008 at 17 years old in a 4–0 home win at the Kassam Stadium vs. Altrincham. He also scored Oxford United’s only goal in a 1–2 home defeat to Harry Rednapp’s FA Cup winning Portsmouth side in a friendly match, beating David James with a left foot volley.
Fisher joined non league Brackley Town managed by David Oldfield on 8 March 2008 to gain experience scoring three goals in five starts. Another loan to local side Oxford City in early 2009 signalled the end of his United career however he still netted 12 goals in 16 starts.
Fisher then joined the Glenn Hoddle Academy in Jerez, Spain where he received coaching from Glenn Hoddle, Graham Rix, Dave Beasant and Nigel Spackman. Through the academy, in the 2010–11 season, he signed for Jerez Industrial scoring on his debut at the Chapin Stadium. However a serious break to his jaw during a game against Los Palacios prematurely ended his season, in which he had already scored 21 goals in all competitions, 17 of which in the league.
Fisher played for Belgian second division side KVK Tienen, having signed a contract to the end of the 2011–12 season.
As his contract had expired at KVK Tienen, he signed at the larger Belgian club K.R.C. Mechelen, in Belgium turning down a late offer from KVC Westerlo who had just come out of the Belgian Pro League.
In July 2013, Fisher signed for K.S.K. Heist in the Belgacom League. Team manager Cis Bosschaerts said in the media, that the signing would be "a significant step in the right direction for the club" for the coming season.
After only one-and-a-half months with KSK Heist, Alex Fisher had impressed and transferred to Italian Lega Pro side A.C. Monza Brianza 1912. Heist came to an agreement with AC Monza, and the transfer went through before the end of the market window.
