Kevin Mark Ashley (born 31 December 1968) is an English former professional footballer who played as a right back. [2] He made 184 appearances in the Football League, scoring twice. [3]
Ashley was born in Kings Heath, Birmingham. He began his career under the YTS scheme with his local club, Birmingham City, and progressed to the first team, [2] making his debut on 12 April 1987 in a 1–0 defeat to local rivals West Bromwich Albion. [4] He made 66 appearances in all competitions before moving to their Midlands neighbours Wolverhampton Wanderers for £500,000 in September 1990. [2]
He made his Wolves debut as a substitute in a 1–1 draw at West Ham United on 15 September 1990 but had his first season disrupted by injury. He regained his fitness for the following season and was almost ever-present. However, his injury troubles resurfaced and he never played for the club after April 1993. In total, he made 99 appearances for the team.[ citation needed]
He was given a free transfer to Peterborough United in August 1994, but was unable to hold down a regular place and spent a spell on loan at Doncaster Rovers in 1996. [1]
He then moved into non-league football, first with Telford United of the Conference, [5] and then with Southern League clubs Bromsgrove Rovers [6] and Paget Rangers, for whom he made one appearance before injury to his knee forced him to give up the game in 2000. [7]
