FEED THE FISH

The career of Yeovil Town striker Alex Fisher could easily be described as 'have boots, will travel.'

Fisher's career has seen him appear in England, Spain, Italy and Scotland, but now - certainly for the moment - he has made his home at Huish Park.

After starting his career at Oxford United, he has turned out for a range of clubs that includes AS Monza, Jerez Industrial, Mansfield Town, Torquay United, Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Motherwell.

His debut for the Glovers came as a substitute in an FA Cup fourth round tie against Manchester United - just hours after making the journey to south Somerset to sign from Motherwell. He wasn't the only debutant on display that evening as Alexis Sanchez was making his bow for the Red Devils following his big money move from Arsenal.

It also marked his return to English football two years after he left Torquay United to join Inverness Caledonian Thistle. During his six-month stay with the Gulls, Fisher found the back of the net five times in 16 starts and he has already been amongst the goals for Yeovil.

So far in his brief spell at Huish Park he has netted five times for the Glovers, which has included a brace against Coventry City in a 6-2 win over the Sky Blues at the Ricoh Arena. His most recent effort came in the 89th minute against Swindon Town at County Ground, which earned Yeovil a 2-2 draw with the Robins.

If Fisher can carry this form into the 2018-19 season for Darren Way's side then the Glovers look set to be challenging at the top end of the table.
