Career

[edit]

Born in Gateshead,[2] Fishburn joined Carlisle United's youth team in 2020 and, following a prolific season with the club's under-18 side, he signed a two-year senior contract in summer 2021 with a further one-year option.[3] On 17 August 2021, Fishburn joined Northern Premier League Premier Division club Lancaster City on loan until January 2022.[4] After 8 goals in 9 matches for Lancaster City, he was recalled by Carlisle in late September.[5][6] He made his debut for Carlisle on 28 September 2021 as a substitute against Everton U21 in the EFL Trophy,[7] and made his league debut off the bench the following month in a 2–2 draw away to Newport County.[8]

On 28 July 2022, Fishburn joined National League North club Blyth Spartans for a three-month loan deal.[9] On 12 September 2022, days after his loan spell at Blyth came to an end, he joined Northern Premier League Premier Division side Morpeth Town on a loan-deal until the end of the season, with a recall option after 28 days.[10] Morpeth had previously tried to sign Fishburn in pre-season, but Carlisle felt like the loan move to Blyth would be a better option.[10]

On 30 June 2023, following his release from Carlisle, he signed for EFL League One side Fleetwood Town on a one-year contract with the club holding the option of a further year.[11] He was placed into Matthew Lawlor's Development Squad.[11] In March 2024, he joined National League club York City on loan for the remainder of the season.[12] At the end of the 2023-2024 season he was released by Fleetwood Town.[13]

On 13 June 2024, following his release from Fleetwood Town, he signed for National League North side Scunthorpe United[14]
