Ashmore started out at Havant & Waterlooville and made his first team debut in 2008 following a youth career with Portsmouth.

 

In 2011, he had a loan spell at Gosport Borough, and after some impressive performances the move was made permanent.

 

In 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”.
