Ambrose made his England under-21 debut on 11 February 2003 when he replaced David Prutton during a 1–0 friendly defeat to Italy. He made his next appearance during another friendly on 2 June when he came on as a substitute for Bobby Zamora in England’s 3–2 win against Serbia & Montenegro. He was again a substitute in England’s 2–2 draw with Sweden on 30 March 2004 before starting his first under-21 game during a 1–0 defeat in Spain.
After signing for Newcastle United on 24 March 2003, Ambrose had to wait until the final game of the season to make his debut for the first-team. Replacing Nolberto Solano in the 76th minute, Ambrose helped his side to a 2–2 draw against relegated West Bromwich Albion on 11 May 2003.
After making 37 appearances across the season and scoring eleven goals, Ambrose was sold to Newcastle United on 24 March 2003. With Ipswich in financial difficulty after falling into administration, the club were forced to sell Ambrose outside of the transfer window for a fee in the region of £1 million. Ambrose would later say that he “did not want to go” when he was sold to Newcastle, and that he was “sad to leave” Ipswich.
Ambrose began his career with Ipswich Town when he joined the club’s Academy at the age of eleven. He broke through to the first-team in April 2002 in a 2–0 Premiership defeat to Arsenal. After establishing himself as a regular during the 2002–03 season, Ambrose was sold to Newcastle United for £1 million. He made over 50 appearances for Newcastle before joining Charlton Athletic in 2005 for £1.5 million. A four-year stay at The Valley saw Ambrose make over 120 appearances, while he also spent time away on loan at his former club Ipswich in the latter stages of his spell with the Addicks. He joined Crystal Palace on a free transfer ahead of the 2009–10 season, making 110 league appearances in three seasons. He signed for Birmingham City for a £250,000 fee in 2012, spending two seasons with the Championship club, but failed to establish himself in the first-team. He was loaned to Greek Superleague side Apollon Smyrni in January 2014, where he scored six goals in eleven outings. Ambrose was released by Birmingham in the summer of 2014, before he rejoined Ipswich on a permanent basis following a trial. He made just eight appearances for his boyhood club before being released the following summer. Ambrose then signed a one-year contract with League One club Colchester United in August 2015.
