Andrew Cartwright
2024/25 Sponsor: Forrest & Phil
Tough tackling right-back Carty rejoins Ashington on a full time basis for the 2024/25 season after making a handful of appearances for the Colliers last season while on a dual registration with Whitley Bay. A key part of Ashington’s hugely successful 2022/23 season when the Colliers won the Northern League Cleator Cup, reached the 4th Qualifying Round of the FA Cup, and gained promotion back to the Northern Premier League. Great to see him back at Woodhorn Lane!
Lewis Suddick
Joined us this season from Bishop Auckland, having played for teams such as Newcastle United, Whitby Town, Whitley Bay and Hebburn to name a few. Technically very good, Lewis can play in several advanced positions. Lewis can beat an opponent 1v1 or receive in good spaces between the lines, whilst having a good range of passing and an eye for goal.
Adam Johnson
Joined the club this season (21/22) from Blyth Town. An Ashington born player, who works tirelessly as a forward both in and out of possession. Adams direct running and pace creates chances for both himself and other players.
Karl Dryden
A Goalkeeper who needs no introduction to fans of the club having played under Gary Middleton. Karl then went on to have four highly successful years at Morpeth Town where he won the FA Vase, before moving to Dunston UTS where he again had an impressive two-year spell lifting the Northern League First Division title and gaining promotion.
Karl Ross
2024/25 Sponsor: Ian Skinner
A box-to-box midfielder who made over 40 appearances last season, scoring twice. Club captain Karl is the longest serving player at Ashington after joining his hometown club from South Shields over 6 years ago. He has also played for Whitley Bay. Won the player’s ‘player of the year’ award last season.
Yannick Aziakonou
A former product of the Newcastle United academy, Yannick is a player who offers versatility with the ability to play as a holding midfield player, Centre Back or Left Fullback. Yannick is strong and powerful and another player who is comfortable on the ball and likes to play.
