Marcus Fraser was born on 23 June 1994 in Scotland and has become a prominent defender in his home country, primarily playing as a central defender for St Mirren. At 6 feet (1.84m) in height and weighing in at 12st 12lb (82kg), he is a formidable presence on the pitch. He is currently wearing jersey number 22.
Fraser's professional journey began at Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, joining the squad as a trainee in July 2012. During his debut season (2012-2013), he made an important stepping-stone; appearing once in the first team for a league match. His time at Celtic was indeed foundational, and will be fondly remembered as the cradle of his professional career.
His further development saw him loaned to Cowdenbeath in the Lowland League in September 2014. With this move, he was afforded greater playing time, taking part in 11 first team league matches during the 2014-2015 season.
Come January 2015, Fraser found himself transferring from Celtic to Ross County, also in the Scottish Premiership. His stint with Ross County proved to be a fruitful period, comprising a series of achievements. From the 2014-2015 season to the 2018 season, Fraser enjoyed an escalating presence on the pitch, reflected in the impressive increase of his first team appearances. Moreover, he registered a gently humming goal tally.
In July 2020, Fraser made the largest stride of his career yet; transferring to St Mirren, where he remains a central defender. His tenure at St Mirren has seen a series of steadfast performances, with a consistently high number of first team appearances over multiple seasons. More notably, he has demonstrated his offensive acumen, contributing a steady stream of goals. As of the current season (2024-2025), he has made 29 appearances in league matches.
Not limiting his participation to league matches alone, Fraser has also represented St Mirren in the League Cup 2024-2025 with one start, the Scottish Cup 2024-2025 with two starts, and the Conference League Qualifiers 2024-2025 with four starts. His significant contributions paint a picture of a dedicated player, more than willing to lend his skills to a multitude of football arenas.
