Ryan David Ashington (born March 28, 1983) is an English former professional footballer. He was born in Paignton, Devon.
Ashington joined Torquay United as a trainee and due to almost the entire midfield being out injured, manager Wes Saunders was forced to throw him into the first-team well before he would have liked. In the end Ashington was named man of the match on his league debut at home to Southend United on August 19, 2000[1], making a further 13 league appearances by the end of the season, all before his 18th birthday. He signed a one-year professional contract in May 2001, but had yet to feature under new manager Roy McFarland, before sustaining an injury that forced him out for most of the 2001-02 season.
Out of the first team picture at Plainmoor, and with Torquay not having a reserve team on financial grounds, Ashington joined Newport County on loan on December 5, 2002[2], signing a full deal the following month. He made a good initial impression at Newport, but missed the end of the season due to glandular fever[3] and failed to re-establish himself. He left Newport in September 2003.
