Upon signing Ashey told longridgetownfc.com “I’ve been aware of Connor for a couple of years, and he was excellent for Irlam when they played us here at the Ridge earlier in the season. He’s matured as a player over the past few seasons and at 24 is experienced at this level. I’ve known his Dad for years and when the opportunity came to sign him it was a no brainer for me."

"He’s trained with us this week and looks bright, strong in the ball and a good finisher. He’s definitely a Longridge Town type of player, and just as importantly a great lad who’ll fit in well here. I’m looking forward to working with him to be honest as he’s got potential and wants to learn."

"We’ve been a little inconsistent so far this season, particularly at home, but the supporters still see what we are trying to achieve here both on and off the pitch, and I’m certain that Connor will quickly become a crowd favourite.”

Everyone at Longridge Town is delighted that Connor has signed with us for the remainder of the 2021/22 NWCFL Premier division season and are looking forward to working with him and wish him every success in what promises to be an exciting second half of the season ahead.
