Sam Fisher

Sam Fisher of Airdrieonians was born on 26 July 2001 (age 25).

Sam Fisher, born on 26 July 2001 (age 25), is a Scottish central defender with Airdrieonians. His early senior career included a spell at Dundee in 2022-23, where six league appearances gave him a useful step into first-team football rather than another year of waiting around.

The main body of Fisher’s career, though, has been at Dunfermline Athletic. Across four seasons he made 44 league appearances, establishing himself there in a way that his shorter stops did not quite match. It is the Dunfermline period that gives his career its shape: steady involvement, regular senior football, and the sort of grounding defenders tend to need.

At Airdrieonians in 2026-27, Fisher has made nine League One appearances, along with four in the League Cup, where he scored once, and one in the Scottish Cup. That takes him to 14 appearances and one goal for the club across all competitions.

Fisher’s career so far has been that of a developing Scottish centre-half who has built most of his senior record at Dunfermline, with earlier experience at Dundee and a current role at Airdrieonians.

Fisher moved from Dundee to Dunfermline Athletic on a free transfer in July 2023; his time at Dunfermline was punctuated by loan spells at Stenhousemuir in February 2025 and again in June 2025 (R F Loan), followed by a loan to Kelty Hearts in January 2026, before joining Airdrieonians on a free transfer in July 2026 – the pattern reflects a player who spent several seasons on temporary moves prior to establishing himself as a starter at his current club.
