He played twice more in that campaign before spending time with his loan clubs.<\/p>\n<p>The youngster becomes Russell Martin&#8217;s fourth signing of the window, having brought in Carlton Morris and Louis Thompson from <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/norwich-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Norwich City<\/a> as well as midfielder Ben Gladwin from Queens Park Rangers.<\/p>\n<h3>What Was Said<\/h3>\n<p>Speaking about the move, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mkdons.com\/news\/2020\/january\/fisher-arrives-on-loan\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fisher told the club website:<\/a> \u201cThis is a massive club and with the way the manager wants to play, it\u2019s something I really want to buy into.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d say my strengths are my shot-stopping and my distribution. I\u2019m comfortable with the ball at my feet, playing out from the back, and I know that suits the way the team wants to play.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe goalkeepers that are here are really talented. It\u2019s my job to come in and push them, and do what I can to help the team for the remainder of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Manager Russell Martin added: \u201cWe went through a list of goalkeepers at the start of the month and he was the one that we identified and wanted. We\u2019ve thought off a lot of competition to get him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe comes in with really good pedigree. Everyone I\u2019ve spoken to about him, speaks really highly of him. I think he\u2019s a good addition and he certainly strengthens our squad. He\u2019ll be good competition for Lee and our goalkeepers here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"-jxCmiTzRsZLWaxcieJ6jA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/457434934\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'-jxCmiTzRsZLWaxcieJ6jA',sig:'sO8QBmZbzhiP2GC628zotfUrJWvT0uB7s-lNVm9hUxU=',w:'594px',h:'484px',items:'457434934',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>League One strugglers MK Dons have made another January signing by bringing in Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper Andrew Fisher.
