Fisher made his England Test debut in 2022 and has 144 First-Class wickets at an average of 26.5, including a career best of 5-30. In October 2022, Fisher was awarded an England pace bowling development contract, having played his first Test against the West Indies earlier in the year.<p>Fisher ended the 2024 season strongly, taking 18 wickets in three games to help Yorkshire secure promotion to Division One of the Vitality County Championship, as well as a career-best 88 against Leicestershire.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m both excited and honoured to have signed for Surrey. I\u2019ve watched the recent successes of the squad with huge admiration and I hope to contribute to more success in the coming years,\" the pacer said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m also looking forward to working with some of the best players and coaches in the game. I first met Alec when I was 15 just after I made my debut for Yorkshire and he was visiting my school. He was great to talk to and it\u2019s stuck in my memory ever since,\" Fisher added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Alec Stewart, Director of Men\u2019s Cricket, said: \u201cI\u2019ve always looked to strengthen our squad straight after we\u2019ve won the Championship so bringing in a player of Matt\u2019s ability and experience made perfect sense. With Conor McKerr leaving the Club and the expected England call-ups next summer it\u2019s important we maintain a quality bowling group.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m also looking forward to working with some of the best players and coaches in the game.
