The 32-year-old fullback joined us on a permanent deal from Tottenham Hotspur in January 2026, signing a one-and-a-half year contract with the Club, with an additional one-year extension option.
Ashleigh arrives in Leicestershire with a wealth of Barclays Women’s Super League experience, having made over 100 appearances for Spurs in the top flight since their promotion to the division in 2018/19.
Born in West Bromwich, Ashleigh began her senior career with Sporting Club Albion in 2011 and went on to represent the West Midlands side for two seasons before earning a move to Coventry United.
Her consistency and influence on performances were recognised during her spell in the West Midlands, which secured her a move to Tottenham Hotspur in 2017. A promotion from the Championship followed one year later in 2018/19, with Ashleigh making 25 vital appearances across all competitions.
Ashleigh would go on to become a mainstay in Spurs’ starting XI in the WSL and made history in February 2025 by becoming the first Tottenham player to reach 100 WSL appearances.
