He progressed through the youth ranks and joined up with the first team for pre-season at the start of the 2011–12 season, but suffered a leg break which kept him out of action for the entire season.

He made his first team debut on 11 May 2014 as a substitute in the final game of the Scottish Premiership season, away to Celtic.
Fraser made his first start for Dundee United on 8 August 2015, in a 2–0 Premiership win at Motherwell. A season later, he played a key role in the Dundee United team that went on to win the 2016–17 Scottish Challenge Cup, playing in three rounds and scoring in the 3–2 semi-final away win over Queen of the South.
He was named the Scottish Championship Player of the Month for November 2017. After three seasons in the United first team, Fraser decided to leave the club in May 2018.
