In October 1962, Fraser joined English First Division club Aston Villa for a fee of £24,000,[11] which paid for Dunfermline's new main stand.[7] He played 40 games for Aston Villa in all competitions, and was on the losing side in the 1963 Football League Cup final against Birmingham City. Following a contractual dispute with the club he quit, joining his wife's hairdressing business in London, before returning to football in February 1965 with Birmingham City, who paid Villa a £9,000 fee for his services.[3][11]
Fraser made a few appearances in attack for Birmingham, relegated to the Second Division at the end of the 1964–65 season, and played regularly at right-back the following season.[12] He then returned to Scotland to join Falkirk, though never played for the first team.[3][4]
