Ashley Westwood
Born: Crewe, 01/04/1990

Another graduate of the Alex Academy, Ashley signed professional terms in the summer of 2008.

A versatile player who can operate at either full back or in midfield, Ashley has a lot of talent and skill that benefits him when coming into consideration for a place in the starting eleven.

Ashley made his debut against Millwall in the club's 1-0 defeat in March 2008, coming on as a substitute for the final ten minutes. He followed that up a week later with his second appearance, again as a substitute, against Swindon at the County Ground, and he has never looked back.

A promising prospect for the future, Ashley had a 2009/10 season beyond even his own expectations, walking away with numerous Player of the Year awards at the end of the season. A solid and committed player, Ashley spent the majority of last season playing in midfield, although he did slot in at full back when required. Not shy of a goal or two either, Ashley netted his first professional goal against Chesterfield in December 2009 with a stunningly taken free kick from 25 yards out that went straight into the back of the net. He followed that up with a further five goals that season including a brace against Northampton in February 2010. He was rewarded during the summer of 2010 with his third contract extension in a year to keep him at the club until 2013, before signing another contract extension in November of that year which kept him the club until 2014.

Westwood netted six times for the Alex during the 2010/11 season and was one of three Alex players who rotated the captaincy for much of the campaign.
