Jon Ashton Biography

Jon Ashton is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on October 4, 1982 in Nuneaton, Nuneaton, United Kingdom. Jonathan James Ashton (born 4 October 1982) is an English former professional footballer who played as a defender. He is the fitness coach at Stevenage.

A month after being released, he signed for Conference National club Rushden & Diamonds, and made his debut on the opening day of the 2006–07 season in a 1–0 defeat to Crawley Town. He was a regular in central defence for Rushden throughout the season, and he scored his first goal in the club’s 4–1 away victory against Tamworth on 12 September 2006. The goal was scored from the penalty spot late on in the second half to round off a comfortable victory. Ashton added one further goal to his tally during the season, “powering home” Curtis Woodhouse’s cross to ensure Rushden ended their four-game streak without a win with a 2–0 victory at Forest Green Rovers in March 2007. Despite playing regularly, Ashton was transfer-listed by new Rushden manager Garry Hill in April 2007, and was later told he was free to find a new club. He played 42 games for Rushden during his only season with the club, scoring twice.

In May 2007, Ashton was arrested with Danny Foster, facing three counts of vandalism after the pair danced in the streets of a Scottish Highlands town wrapping themselves in lager advertising banners.

Ashton was called up to the England C team, who represent England at non- League level, in May 2007, for the Four Nations Tournament in Scotland.

Ashton joined Third Division club Oxford United on an initial one-month loan deal just before the start of the 2003–04 season, making his debut on the opening day of the season in a 1–0 win against Lincoln City at Sincil Bank. After making seven appearances in all competitions during the first month of the season, with Oxford remaining unbeaten during that period, his move to the club was made permanent in September 2003. He played regularly during the season, making 38 appearances, as Oxford finished just shy of the play-off places despite a strong start to their league season. He continued to hold down a regular place in the Oxford squad the following year, and made 31 appearances in all competitions, with Oxford finishing the season in a mid- table position. During the season, Ashton received the first red card of his career when he was sent-off after receiving two yellow cards in Oxford’s 4–0 defeat to Southend United on 6 November 2004. Just over a month later, he was sent-off once again, again for two bookable offences, against Swansea City at the Kassam Stadium. Under the new management of Brian Talbot, Ashton played 34 games during the club’s 2005–06 season, scoring his first goal for Oxford, and the first of his professional career, in a 1–1 draw with Rochdale in February 2006, netting with a right-footed shot from just inside the area. However, after being openly criticised by Talbot following a 2–1 defeat at Stockport County, Ashton did not feature as regularly in the first team, making just one further appearance that season. In May 2006, Ashton was released by new manager Jim Smith, ending his three-year tenure at the club.

He made his first-team debut for Leicester in the Premier League in March 2002, playing the whole match in a 2–0 defeat to Leeds United at Filbert Street. Ashton went on to play a further six matches towards the latter stages of the 2001–02 season. Although the club were relegated to the First Division, Ashton signed a new three-year deal at the end of the season. He started in the club’s first match of the 2002–03 campaign, a 6–1 defeat against Ipswich Town at Portman Road. Subsequently, Ashton only played one further match for Leicester, before being loaned out to Notts County on a one-month deal in November 2002. A day after completing his loan move, he made his Notts County debut in a 2–2 draw against Mansfield Town, and played a further three games before returning to his parent club. On his return to Leicester, Ashton made one further appearance for the club, coming on as an 80th-minute substitute in the team’s 1–1 draw with Norwich City.

He made seven Premier League appearances during Leicester’s 2001–02 season, playing a total of 10 matches for the club. During his time at Leicester, Ashton was loaned out to both Notts County and Oxford United respectively, joining the latter permanently in September 2003 after his successful loan spell. He played over 100 matches for the club spanning over three league seasons, before being released in May 2006.

He signed for Rushden & Diamonds ahead of the 2006–07 season, spending one season at the club before joining Essex club Grays Athletic on a free transfer in May 2007. He spent one and a half years with Grays, before signing for Stevenage Borough for an undisclosed fee in January 2009. Ashton was an important part of the team’s defence during the club’s successful 2009–10 season, a season in which Stevenage earned promotion to the Football League for the first time in the club’s history.
