Biography

After spending his early career at Leicester City, Ashton had to spend time in non-league before earning his move to Boro. Spells at Oxford, Rushden and Grays saw him establish himself as an excellent Conference centre-back, but his career really kicked on when he signed for Stevenage in January 2009, soon demonstrating the rock-solid presence he offered at centre back.

He had secured himself a regular berth in the starting XI by the start of the 2009-10 season, and his partnership with Mark Roberts would prove to be a defining feature of the team for seasons to come. A Conference title win and FA Trophy final appearance were followed by promotion from League Two, and a run into the League One play-offs in 2011-12. Stevenage's superb defensive record was integral to their success, and impossible to imagine without Ashton at the heart of the team.

While Boro increasingly struggled from 2012 onwards, Ashton remained a key figure at Boro and would captain the team on almost 50 occasions in the seasons to come.

He would only leave the club in 2015, after a season troubled by injuries and a lack of form.

It wasn't the end of his association with the club, however. After spells with Crawley, Braintree, Grays and Nuneaton - where he was assistant manager to Dino Maamria - he would return to Boro as fitness coach in 2018 before departing for the same role at Ipswich in 2021.
