Fraser began his career with Arbroath, and made over 200 appearances for the Red Lichties[3] before joining Clyde. He spent seven years with the Shawfield [4] and gained a reputation for being a hard man in the defence; he was a member of the side that finished 3rd in the 1966–67 Scottish Division One table, their highest-ever placing.[5] Fraser left Clyde in 1969 to join Dundee.[6] He played under manager John Prentice at each of his three clubs.[7]
He should not be confused with another Jim Fraser who played during the same era and in the same position, mainly for Dunfermline Athletic.[8][9]
