[edit] Playing career

[edit] Sheffield United

A graduate of the Blades Academy who impressed at every junior level after signing at the age of 10, Ashmore is creative central midfielder who can also operate in wide areas and at full-back. With a range of neat passes and an eye for goal, he was offered a one-year professional deal in the summer of 2007 and has been a regular fixture in United's reserves.[1]

Along with team-mates Colin Marrison and Ryan Gyaki, Ashmore played as a trialist for Football League One side Yeovil Town at Huish Park against Welton Rovers in the Somerset Premier Cup on October 3, 2006.[citation needed]

Ashmore started the 2007/2008 season on the fringes of the first team squad playinga friendly against Worksop and impressed alongside established first team players in a midfield holding role.[2] During the subsequent pre-season tour of Ireland Ashmore scored a goal for the senior side; a 15-yard volley against Portadown after coming on as a 74th minute substitute.[3]

James joined Macclesfield Town on loan in January 2008 for the remainder of the season[4] where he played eight games. He was released by Sheffield United at the end of the season.[5]
