He made his debut on 15 September 2020, replacing Ben Johnson in the 84th minute of the EFL Cup second round fixture versus Charlton Athletic, a match won 3–0 by the Premier League side.[9] On 15 December 2021, Ashby made his Premier League debut as a substitute for Pablo Fornals in a 0–2 away defeat to Arsenal.[10]

On 4 August 2023, Ashby joined Swansea City on a season-long loan.[13][14]
Ashby scored his first senior competitive goal on 26 August 2023, while on loan at Swansea City. He scored the goal in a Championship match against Preston North End, which Swansea lost 2–1.[15]
On 30 August 2024, Ashby moved to Queens Park Rangers on a season-long loan.[16]
In January 2026, Ashby signed on loan for Bradford City.[17] Ashby only had limited game time throughout January due to strong competition in the squad.[18]
On 9 July 2026, Ashby joined League One side Luton Town on a season-long loan.[19]

Style of play
[edit]Ashby's captain at West Ham, Mark Noble, praised Ashby's "real physical stature" and his technical ability, saying "technically he is also very good, and for him it's just about getting that experience around us and around the first team. When he's come in, he has looked really strong. He fully deserved his Premier League debut this year".[23]
