Career
He plays as a striker. Fitzgerald joined the Brentford Centre of Excellence at age 12 and started his senior career in non-League football at Northwood before being signed by First Division side Watford in February 2003. In the 2003-2004 season he scored 11 goals to finish as the club"s top scorer.
At Watford Fitzgerald scored 11 goals in 29 league starts.
He fell out of favour in the 2004-2005 season, however, and he spent a goalless loan spell at Swansea. He returned to Watford and made several late substitute appearances towards the end of 2004, before being loaned to Leyton Orient in January 2005.
On his only appearance for Orient, a home tie with Grimsby Town, he was sent off for violent conduct. He signed permanently later that month, on transfer deadline day.
He scored two further goals that season, and featured as a substitute in the second leg of Brentford"s play-off semi-final defeat to Sheffield Wednesday.
In 2005-2006 he was out of favour, and was loaned out to Oxford United, scoring once against Grimsby, and Walsall. After not scoring in five appearances with Walsall he was released from his five-month loan contract a month early in April 2006. Fitzgerald then spent a month-long loan period at the start of the 2006-2007 season at non-League club AFC Wimbledon, where he made five starts as short-term cover for injured strikers Richard Butler and Paul Barnes.
He returned for a second loan spell in November 2006, making nine further league appearances, before returning to Brentford in January 2007.
On 15 January 2007, his contract with Brentford was terminated by mutual consent and Fitzgerald signed for Conference South side Basingstoke Town on a contract running initially until the end of the 2006-2007 season. He made his debut for on 20 January 2007 in a 1–1 draw away at Yeading.
At the beginning of the 2008-2009 season Fitzgerald moved to another Conference South side, Hayes & Yeading United. In August 2011, he made his debut for Hemel Hempstead Town, but rejoined Wealdstone soon after.
He left Wealdstone in September 2012.
After scoring two goals in his first six appearances, Fitzgerald underwent surgery on his troublesome knee injury which is set to keep him out for a while. He continued his excellent form with a brace against Aylesbury which took his tally to eight goals in just thirteen appearances. Since leaving Chalfont Street Peter in 2014, Fitzgerald has been without a club but in September 2015 stated his intention to carry on playing.
