Ashley started riding on a 150cc bike in 2006 before progressing to a 250cc bike at the end of the year. Under the tutorship of former-Buxton Hitmen captain Neil Painter he progressed rapidly and was soon riding a 500cc machine in Academy League meetings after turning fourteen in 2008.

Due to injury his participation in the 2008 British Under-15 Championship was curtained but he is expected to be one of the leading contenders in 2009. He did enter an amateur meeting at Scunthorpe in September and would probably have won it but for a couple of engine failures whilst leading races.

Ashley's fastest time of the day at 61.09 certainly gives an indication of how well he has mastered the Eddie Wright Raceway but it will be early May before the youngest of the Saints can join the team after turning fifteen.
