Middlesbrough
Born in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire. Fry was scouted by Middlesbrough Football Club after being spotted playing for his local side Cleveland Juniors at the age of 7. Throughout the ranks of the Middlesbrough youth team, Fry made an impression with his progress at the academy. In October 2014, Fry signed his first professional contract with the club.
He made his first-team debut on 9 August 2015 at the age of 17, on the opening day of the 2015–16 Football League Championship season – playing from the start and he claimed the Man of the Match award in a 0–0 draw against Preston North End. On 14 September 2015, Fry signed a new five-year contract with Middlesbrough. Fry captained Middlesbrough U19 in the 2015-16 UEFA Youth League. Following an injury of Daniel Ayala, Manager Aitor Karanka gave him a first chance to cover Ayala's absent and played his first Middlesbrough match in months, in a 0–0 draw against Leeds United on 15 February 2016. After the match, Manager Karanka praised Fry's performance. Fry had a handful of first team appearances between 15 February 2016 and 13 March 2016. Although he returned to the reserve later in the 2015–16 season, Fry went on to make eight appearances in all competitions.
After his loan spell at Rotherham United came to an end, Fry only made two appearances in the 2016–17 season, which both came in the FA Cup against Accrington Stanley and Manchester City. Earlier in the 2016–17 season, Fry signed a long-term contract with the club, keeping him until 2021.
Loan spell at Rotherham United
On 31 August 2016, Fry joined Rotherham United on loan until the end of the 2016–17 Championship season.
Fry made his Rotherham United debut on 10 September 2016, starting the whole game, in a 2–2 draw against Bristol City. Fry made 10 starts for the club before the loan was terminated early on 1 January 2017, having not featured for the club since November.
