Style of Play
Since beginning his professional career, Fletcher has been used predominantly as a target man, using his height and strength to unsettle defences, win headers, receive passes and keep possession while team-mates advance towards the opposition goal. Traits that are typical of a centre forward, Fletcher has often been paired upfront with a smaller, quicker player. During his Bournemouth career, he formed several prolific partnerships with that sort of player, such as James Hayter, Mark Stein, Jermain Defoe and Brett Pitman.
