Ashley signed for Norwich City in the summer of 2023, contributing to 12 goals in all competitions for the Canaries so far this season. Despite being sidelined by injury for a period of time during the season, Ashley has been a fantastic servant to the club both on and off the field, using much of his spare time to engage and inspire our community.
