Fraser started his career at Luton Town, making his debut at the end of the 1997–98 season. He scored his first and only goal for the club in September 1999 in a 4–2 win against Oxford United.[3] Fraser was a regular in the starting lineup at the start of the 2000–01 season, and earned himself a callup to the Scotland under-21 national team.[4][5] In January 2001, Fraser suffered a broken leg in an FA Cup match against Queen's Park Rangers.[6] He failed to regain his place in the first team and was released in March 2002.[3][7] He made a total of 44 league appearances for the club.
