Career[]

Fletcher, as an academy player, made his first team debut at home in the FA Cup in a 0–0 draw with Newport County,[3] on as a 79th-minute substitute for Craig Tanner.

He signed a professional contract in the summer of 2017,[4] and made his full debut in the EFL Trophy, in a group stage game vs Chelsea U-21s.[5] Fletcher scored two goals in the last 2 minutes as Argyle came from behind to win on penalties.[6]

Fletcher scored his first career league goal in a League One game, a 2–1 defeat to Fleetwood Town.[7]

On 4 January 2018, Fletcher joined Torquay United, who were at the time bottom of the National League, on a 28-day loan.[8] He went on to play just three times for Torquay, who didn't take up the option to extend his spell.

On 3 September 2019, Fletcher joined Aldershot Town of the National League, initially on a one-month loan.[9] On 7 December 2019 he joined Southern League club Tiverton Town F.C. on a months loan deal.[10] The deal was later extended for another 28 days[11] and later to the end of the season. He re-joined Tiverton permanently at the start of the following season.[12]

In January 2021, Fletcher joined Bath City for an undisclosed fee from Tiverton Town.[13]
