Fletcher had another good season for Bournemouth in 2000-01 when he missed just one Second Division match and provided many of the chances for the free-scoring Jermain Defoe.

A burly striker, he uses his height to good effect and holds the ball up well to bring his colleagues into play.

Fletcher was the Cherries' longest-serving player when he started his tenth season with the club in 2001-02 having passed 300 Football League games for them.

Fletcher agreed a new one-year deal with Bournemouth in June 2006.

He joined Chesterfield in July 2007 with a one-year contract.

Fletcher returned to AFC Bournemouth in January 2009 with a contract to the end of the season that was extended to June 2010 in August 2009 and to June 2011 in June 2010.
