Club Career

Celtic

Fox began his career at Celtic. However, he never made an appearance for the club. During his time at Celtic, he was part of the side that won the double of under-19 league and the Scottish Youth Cup in 2005 and 2006. On 20 August 2007, he signed for the Third Division club East Fife on loan. While he was at East Fife, he won the Scottish Football League Young Player of the Month Award for November 2007. On 15 January 2008, he agreed to move to Ayr United on loan for the rest of the season. However, Celtic cancelled the loan and the transfer never took place.

With his contract at Celtic having expired in Summer 2009, Fox went on trial at Exeter City and Lincoln City. However, due to Celtic being entitled to a development fee and still holding his registration as he was under 23, there was no contract offer. Fox eventually took his case to FIFA although he ultimately lost and spent six months without playing.

Queen of the South

Manager Gordon Chisholm signed Fox on 29 January 2010, for Dumfries club Queen of the South from Celtic on amateur forms. Chisholm gave Fox his debut on 16 February 2010 in place of the suspended David Hutton. Fox debuted with a clean sheet to his name in a 3–0 win for Queens at Palmerston Park against Ayr United. His next appearance came under the management of Kenny Brannigan on 3 April 2010, when he came on as a substitute in the 36th minute when Hutton injured his back away to Morton at Cappielow. The game ended in a 3–3 draw. Fox played in 6 league matches for Queen of the South. He was not on the Queens retained list at the end of the 200
