Marcus Fraser, born in Scotland on 23rd June 1994 (age 30), is a formidable defender, currently honing his craft at St Mirren. Staunch and statuesque, Fraser stands tall at an imposing six feet (1.84m), and has a robust build of 12 st 12lb (82kg), a testament to the rigours of the beautiful game. His affinity for the number 22 jersey is well noted amongst the faithful.
In 2012, Fraser's career began in earnest when he joined the ranks of Celtic, the promise of his talent earning him a spot as a trainee. Despite only making his debut in the 2012-2013 season and with just one first-team appearance to his name, Fraser was regarded as a player of potential.
His time at Celtic, however, was characterised by patience and perseverance. In September 2014, Fraser ventured forth on loan to Cowdenbeath, a strategically chosen stint in the Lowland League, where he showcased his defensive prowess over 11 first-team appearances in the 2014-2015 season.
January 2015 was a defining moment for Fraser as he severed ties with Celtic and took to the pitch for Ross County, marking a significant transition in his career. It was here that he made a deepening impression on the Scottish Premiership, starting with a solid performance in the 2014-2015 season, and scoring his inaugural goal. His tenure at Ross County saw his growth not just as a player, but as a reliable staple in their defensive line, making numerous appearances and consistently performing over multiple seasons.
In July 2020, Fraser departed from Ross County and made his mark at St Mirren, again creating ripples in the Premiership. Over the years, his sterling performances and solid appearances have been pivotal for the team. He has displayed a keen eye for goal, netting a heady few across multiple seasons. As of the current 2024-2025 season, Fraser has provided a solid defensive backbone in his 22 appearances thus far.
Fraserโs track record extends beyond the league with a start in the League Cup 2024-2025 and four sturdy performances in the Conference League Qualifiers in the same year. Every endeavour that Fraser embarks upon seems to reinforce his status as a seasoned and tenacious defender in the heart of the Scottish Premiership.
