The 18-year-old joined Fulham at under-9. He is renowned for his distribution and is confident playing out from the back.

He played regularly for England at under-16 level and went on to have an impressive first year as a scholar, making 20 appearances. In October at the age of 16 he was called up to the under-23 side and went on to make 11 appearances.

Ashby-Hammond was subsequently called up by current Swansea City boss Steve Cooper for England’s under-17s European Championship team and handed the number 1 shirt.

The Young Lions were knocked out in the semi-final on penalties to eventual Champions, Holland. Ashby-Hammond took a penalty and rifled it into the top corner, just as he had done against Huddersfield Town in the FA Youth Cup earlier in the season.

He advanced form this by stepping up to the Young Lions' under-18 squad.
