NEW SIGNING: ASHLEY CHAMBERS

Josh Wakelin27 May 2024 - 09:04

Experienced striker signs for the Ambers

We are delighted to announce the signing of ex Buxton and Coalville striker Ashley Chambers!

Chambers has been a prolific striker all his career and has also played for the likes of York City, Kidderminster Harriers and Brackley Town. Ash won promotion to the National League North after winning the NPL with Buxton in 2022.

Ash is viewed as the experienced striker to be a key influence over our exciting young balanced group of strikers. Most recently with Coalville in the Southern League Central Premier Division for the last two seasons, Ash has continued to have an enviable goal scoring record and joins a very good group being assembled. Ash signs a potentially 2 year deal and we are absolutely delighted to get this one over the line.

Manager Martin Carruthers is obviously made up with this signing and for Basford United and views the signing of Ash as very reminiscent to his signing of then 32 & 34 year old experienced strikers Liam Hearn & Rob Duffy back in 2017. Fans need no reminder that one projected us too the NPL Step 4 South title and for Liam a 47 goal campaign & Rob also chipped in with crucial goals in that 100 points 100 goals title winning 2017-18 campaign.

The gaffer said the following after securing Ash' signature:

"Well this is a real coup for the club and to get this deal over the line is a testament to all those behind the scenes to make this one happen. A signing of real quality and he comes with vast amount of experience and proven track record at this level and above. Ash will provide not only experience and goals but also possesses great leadership qualities and this will prove pivotal in this exciting upcoming season. A very welcome to Ash Chambers"

Ash Chambers also said the following after putting pen to paper:

" I'm very excited to be joining Basford, there's a real buzz around the place and I'm looking forward to helping the group hopefully have a memorable season!"
