performances the move was made permanent.

his five years at Gosport, he helped them gain successive promotions to the
National League South, as well as a trip to Wembley in the FA Trophy Final.
Ashmore
was then snapped up by Ebbsfleet helping them gain promotion to the National
League.
Since
then he has amassed over 170 appearances for the Fleet and has won the supporters`
player of the season award for the past two years.
Chairman
Danny Hunter told https://www.borehamwoodfootballclub.co.uk: “Sometimes
opportunity knocks, and you have to go with it. Bromley’s keeper picked up a
nasty injury last Saturday, Bromley then enquired about young Ryan Huddart and
suddenly a deal is done between our clubs in no time. At the same time, Nathan
was being circulated by Ebbsfleet, and I could see there was potential to get
something done.
“I
had quick chat with Luke Garrard and then my old friend in Garry Hill and the
deal was done in less an hour between the clubs. In truth, I couldn’t be more
pleased. If we can now get Nathan enjoying his football and if we can get him
settled, then we know we have one hell of a keeper on our hands and a real
platform to progress ourselves up the league.”
Manager
Luke Garrard added: “I think he’s a top, top goalkeeper at this level. On his
day, he’s one of the better goalkeepers and for us to be able to get this deal
done is a credit to the chairman and chief executive. He will bring
professionalism and a presence, he’s a great acquisition to this football club”. |
