Ben is a highly promising defensive player who was signed on to
first team forms only a few weeks after linking up with the City
under-18s where he made a very impressive start to his City career
to catch the eye of first team boss Tim Harris. In his first City
youth team game he guided the side through a tricky FA Youth Cup
tie against Bridgwater Town, not only scoring on his debut but going
on to slot the winning spot kick in nervy penalty shoot-out. Was
drafted straight into a first team friendly against the RAF where
he put in another calm and disciplined display.
Has yet to make his first team debut but has already featured on
the bench, and although likely to be given more time to consolidate
in the youth team Ashford seems set for a bright future at Meadow
Park.
