Career
Fishlock was born in Marlborough, Wiltshire.[1] He began his football career as a junior with Swindon Town, but never appeared for the first team. He left for Gloucester City in 1992, where he made 74 appearances and scored 6 goals in all competitions. He joined Trowbridge Town in order to be nearer home and college,[3] but manager John Layton soon signed him for Third Division club Hereford United. He made his debut in the Football League on 1 October 1994 in a 2–1 home win against Scunthorpe United. He had three seasons in the Football League and one in the Conference with Hereford before moving to Yeovil Town.[4]
He played 57 games in all competitions for Yeovil, scoring twice,[5] and was capped for the England semi-professional representative team,[6] before suffering a back injury in a game against Dover Athletic in January 2000.[7] The injury would eventually force him to retire from the game, after two years on the sidelines[8] and a few appearances with lower-league clubs including Woking,[9] Melksham Town,[10] Chippenham Town,[11] and Pewsey Vale.[12]
As of 2009, Fishlock was working for the Football Foundation.[13][14]
