Playing career

Ashworth was playing Non-League football for Bangor City before he joined Southend United in 1963. [1] Spells with Hartlepools United (1965-66 season) and Tranmere Rovers followed, before moving to Chester in time for 1967–68.

At Chester, Ashworth had a reputation as a popular but volatile player. [2] In his final season at the club (1969–70) he was twice hit with six-week suspensions for disciplinary reasons. [2] The second suspension led to him being placed on the transfer list and he ended his career in The Football League, joining Altrincham. [2] He went on to play for Ellesmere Port Town before a second spell with Altrincham. [3]

Ashworth later returned to Bangor and enjoyed a spell as caretaker player-manager of the club. [4]
