Scholars snap up Ashman
Defender becomes fifth signing of the summer
Chasetown are today delighted to confirm the signing of Leon Ashman from Newcastle Town.
The centre-back who can also operate as a striker arrives after successfully scooping three Player of the Year awards for last season's performances.
In August 2008, he signed for Leek Town following a previous spell with Burton Albion.
It was at the Blues where he made over 100 appearances managing a strike rate of one goal in every four matches.
After first-team opportunities became limited during the 2010/ 2011 season, Ashman joined Stone Dominoes before returning to Newcastle Town for a second spell.
He became a popular figure amongst Castle supporters proving his versatility as a central defender as well as a striker.
And he ended last season by captaining his former club in the final couple of games.
