Biog

A young custodian signed from Dundee United's youth setup in summer 2003. He quickly earned a place in the U19 team and was also called up to the Scottish under 19 national football team, acting as reserve 'keeper in the 2006 U19 European Championships. Fox also started in goal for Scotland in the ill-fated 2007 FIFA U20 World Cup.

Spent the first half of 2007/08 on loan to third division title favourites East Fife. Recalled in January, he was then reported to have gone back out on loan to Ayr United for the remainder of the season, although he never actually went.

Split reserve team goalkeeping duties with Mark Brown in the latter part of 07/08 and throughout 2008/09.

Out of contract at the end of the 2008-09 season he chose to move on in search of first team football rather than accept another contract which would see him sitting on the bench again.

In October he went on a week long trial with Exeter City.

Turned out for Lincoln City's reserves on 8th December v. Hartlepool, alongside Ndiwa Lord Kangana. Allegedly Chris Sutton scared off by the sizeable compensation still due to Celtic as Fox was under 23.

Announced in January 2010 that he is mounting a legal challenge to the FIFA 'training fee' rules which have effectively frozen him out and prevented him earning a living. Is training with Peter Latchford at Queen of the South in the meantime. Signed for 'the doonhamers' on an amateur basis on 29th January.

On turning 23 he signed a two-year deal with first division Dundee after his manager at Queen of the South, Gordon Chisholm, swooped for him. Fox will compete with 38-year-old Rab Douglas for the gloves at Dens Park.
