Club career

Millwall

Ashikodi began his career in the Millwall youth system. On 22 February 2003, he made his professional debut as a substitute in a 1–0 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion. [2] In doing so, at 15 years and 240 days, he became the youngest player to make a first team appearance for Millwall and the youngest player to make his Football League debut between 1988 and 2008. [3] [4]

He made a further four substitute appearances during the 2002–03 season, and was chosen by the club's youth academy staff as Millwall's Schoolboy of the Year award for a second successive season. [5]

Ashikodi's career at Millwall effectively ended in February 2004 after a training ground incident that reportedly saw him threaten teammate Mark McCammon with a plastic knife. [6] The club launched an investigation into the events, and on 29 April he left the club by mutual consent. A club statement read: "The disciplinary process has been concluded. We wish him the best of luck in his future career." [7]

West Ham United

On 5 August 2004, Ashikodi joined Championship club West Ham United on a two-year contract after impressing during a trial. Manager Alan Pardew said: "Moses is getting a last chance with us. He is a major talent and, hopefully, he will have learned his lesson." [8]

He failed to make a first team appearance and was released at the end of the 2005–06 season. [9]

Gillingham (loan)

In August 2005, Ashikodi joined League One side Gillingham on a four-month loan. [10] On 20 August, he made his debut in a 1–0 victory against AFC Bournemouth. The match proved to be his only victory during the loan spell, featuring in two defeats and a draw. His final appearance came on 15 October in a goalless draw with Yeovil Town. Replacing Andy Hessenthaler at half-time, Ashikodi picked up two yellow cards and was dismissed within 29 minutes. [11] He made a total of four substitute appearances before returning to his parent club. [12]

Rangers

Ashikodi joined Scottish Premier League club Rangers in January 2006 after a successful trial period. He signed a contract until the end of the 2005–06 season. [13]

Upon signing for the club, he said: "I know that I did not have the best of times at my previous clubs but this is now behind me and all I want to do now is give 110% for Rangers. It is a fresh start and I am really looking forward to playing in Scotland and scoring goals again". [14]

On 23 April, he made his only appearance for the first team as a late substitute away to Celtic. [12]

Watford

On 1 January 2007, Ashikodi completed a move to Premier League club Watford after impressing during a two-week trial. He signed a two-and-a-half-year contract for a nominal fee. [15] On 6 January, he scored the final goal in a 4–1 FA Cup win over Stockport County on his debut. The goal was his first at senior level. [16] He played his first Premier League game against Aston Villa on 20 January. [16]

Ashikodi's contract was terminated in February 2009. [17] Later that month he played on trial for both Luton Town, scoring in the side's reserve team game against Peterborough United, [18] and Shrewsbury Town, where he scored twice in a reserve fixture. [19]

Bradford City (loan)

In March 2007, Ashikodi joined League One side Bradford City on a one-month loan. [20] The loan was extended until the end of the season two weeks later, and he scored twice in eight games for the club. [21] His loan spell was cut short after he sustained a broken leg in a fixture against Brighton & Hove Albion, which ruled him out for the remainder of the season. [22]

Swindon Town (loan)

After recovering from his broken leg, Ashikodi was loaned out to League One side Swindon Town in January 2008. [23] Expected to remain at the club for the rest of the season, he made 10 appearances before being forced to return to Watford in early April after a loose screw on a plate in his leg required surgery ruled him out of the remainder of the season. [24] [25]

Hereford United (loan)

In August 2008, Ashikodi joined League One side Hereford United on a five-month loan. [26] He scored in his second game for the club, a 2–1 loss to Championship side Crystal Palace in the League Cup on 12 August. [27] In mid-September he returned to Watford for treatment on an injury, but subsequently returned to Hereford to complete the loan period. [28] Ashikodi made eight appearances for Hereford, with one goal scored, and returned to his parent club in January 2009. [29]

Shrewsbury Town

In February 2009, Ashikodi joined League Two club Shrewsbury Town after a successful trial. [30] On 28 February, he made his debut in a 3–0 defeat at Macclesfield Town [31] Ashikodi scored his first goal for the club a week later in his third game to help Shrewsbury to a 3–2 win against Notts County on 7 March. [32] He came on as an 89th-minute substitute in a 1–0 defeat to Gillingham in the 2009 Football League Two play-off final at Wembley Stadium on 23 May. [29] Two days later, he was released by Shrewsbury having scored 1 goal in 10 games. [29] [33]

Kettering Town

On 2 September 2009, Ashikodi joined Conference Premier side Kettering Town. [34] He made his debut as a second-half substitute against Altrincham three days later, scoring once and setting up a second goal in a 2–0 victory. [35] Ashikodi played his final game in a 1–1 FA Cup Second Round draw at home to Leeds United on 29 November. He was later released by the club. [36]

Ebbsfleet United

On 19 January 2010, Ashikodi remained in the Conference Premier after signing with Ebbsfleet United. [37] That same day, he scored a penalty on his debut against former club Kettering Town. [38] He scored 10 goals in 15 league appearances before his departure at the end of the season. [39]

Kettering Town

In July 2010, Ashikodi returned to Conference Premier side Kettering Town.

On 27 September 2011, he was sent off in a 5–3 loss to Hayes & Yeading United, along with teammate Jean-Paul Marna. [40] The pair were dismissed for fighting following a dispute over who should take a penalty. Ashikodi eventually took the penalty, and after missing Marna scored from the resulting corner. They then came to blows on their way back to the centre circle. [41]

Manager Mark Stimson said of the incident: "I couldn't believe what I was seeing and I don't want to experience it again. We're not saying they won't ever play for the club again, but we're saying if they are fortunate enough to, 'don't do something twice.'" [41]

In November 2011, Ashikodi was placed on a transfer list due to the club's financial difficulties – which saw the complete first team squad listed for sale. [42]

York City (loan)

On 23 November 2011, Ashikodi joined Conference Premier club York City on loan until the New Year. [43] On 3 December, he scored his first goal against parent club Kettering Town in a 7–0 victory. [44] The goal proved to be his only in six appearances in the loan spell.

York City

On 2 January 2012, after the expiration of his loan deal with York City, Ashikodi signed a permanent contract that would take him up to the end of the season. [45] He failed to score again for the club, managing just three starts, and was released in May 2012. [46]

Ebbsfleet United

Ashikodi re-signed for Conference Premier side Ebbsfleet United in July 2012. [47] Having scored five goals in pre-season, Ashikodi also scored on the opening day of the season in a thrilling 5–4 victory at Nuneaton Town. [48] Scoring in a 4–2 defeat at Hereford United on 25 August, he then went almost two months without finding the net. [49] [50]

On 22 October, having returned from international duty just two days earlier, Ashikodi struck in the 87th minute to seal a 1–0 win against Woking in the FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round. [51] The goal ensured a first win in eight games, and Ashikodi later revealed he was still suffering from jet lag. [52]

He failed to score again for the club and departed after three goals in 26 appearances. [50] Ashikodi had an unsuccessful trial with Luton Town after his release in May 2013.

Enfield Town

On 2 November 2013, Ashikodi signed for Isthmian League Premier Division team Enfield Town. [53] The same day he made his debut in an FA Trophy Second Qualifying Round defeat to Grays Athletic. [54] On 12 November, he made his league debut in a 3–0 loss to Wingate & Finchley. [55] The defeat saw manager Steve Newing sacked and Ashikodi failed to appear for the club again. [56]

Margate

Exactly a month after signing for Enfield Town, Ashikodi joined Isthmian League Premier Division club Margate. [57] The striker had looked set to join Hampton & Richmond Borough but the club announced the deal fell apart in the final stages. [58] On 7 December, he started in a 5–3 defeat to Bognor Regis Town. [59] After three games without a goal and a change in managers, Ashikodi was dropped to the bench for a 2–2 draw with Hampton & Richmond Borough on 21 December. [60] Coming off the bench in a 4–0 loss at Maidstone United on 26 December, and being unused two days later, Ashikodi departed the club soon after without a first win. [61] [62]

Farnborough

On 31 December 2013, Conference South side Farnborough announced that Ashikodi had signed a short-team deal with the club. On 11 January 2014, he made his debut in a 2–1 defeat to Staines Town. [63] He made a further two appearances for the club, with one in the Hampshire Senior Cup. [64] [65]

Cray Wanderers

In February 2014, Ashikodi signed for Isthmian League Premier Division side Cray Wanderers. [66] On 23 February, he scored on his debut in a 5–1 defeat against Lewes.

[68] Ashikodi scored his side's first goal in a 2–2 draw with Wingate & Finchley on 23 March, and scored a brace two days later in a 3–2 win against Grays Athletic. [69] [70]

On 29 March, Ashikodi was accused of biting an opposing player in a league fixture at Billericay Town. The referee did not see the incident so no action was taken during the match, although the official was shown the bite mark on Geoff Mitchell's finger. The incident was later investigated by the FA. [71]

AFC Hornchurch

Ashikodi joined Isthmian League Premier Division club AFC Hornchurch ahead of the 2014–15 season. On 9 August 2014, Ashikodi made his debut as a substitute in a 1–0 defeat at East Thurrock United.

[84] He returned to the starting line-up a month later and scored eight minutes into a 4–0 win against Burnham Ramblers. [85] However, he would not feature again as Cray Wanderers narrowly avoided relegation. [86]

Walton Casuals

In August 2015, Ashikodi joined Isthmian League Division One South club Walton Casuals for his first time in the eighth tier of English football. [87] On 15 August, he marked his debut with a goal in a 3–0 win against Tooting & Mitcham United. Four days later, he scored again in a 4–0 win over East Grinstead Town in the Isthmian League Cup First Round. On 25 August, he scored both goals in a 3–2 defeat to Walton & Hersham.

Croydon

In February 2016, Ashikodi made two appearances for Southern Counties East League Premier side Croydon, his first club in the ninth tier. However, his swift departure less than a week after signing ensured he failed to score for the club. [95]

East Grinstead Town

On 3 March 2016, Isthmian League Division One South club East Grinstead Town announced the signing of Ashikodi. [96] [97] His fifth club of the season, he made his mark with a goal just five minutes into his debut. Nonetheless, it would be his only appearance for the club before his return to a former side. [98]

Croydon

Later that month, Ashikodi returned to Croydon in the Southern Counties East Premier Division. On 12 March, he made his debut in a 2–1 loss to Lordswood and was substituted after 65 minutes. The defeat proved to be his only appearance as he failed to return to the club. [99]

Whyteleafe

Ashikodi began the 2016–17 season with Isthmian League Division One South club Whyteleafe. His spell with the club was short-lived, scoring once in five appearances. [100] His final game saw him start on the bench, replacing Roscoe Dsane on the hour, and receiving a yellow card for an intentional handball. Ashikodi stated his intention to leave the club immediately after the game, unhappy at being left on the bench. [101]

Guildford City

In October 2016, Ashikodi joined Combined Counties Premier Division side Guildford City. [102] He scored on his debut in a 3–1 victory at Knaphill but made just four appearances before his release two weeks later. [103]

Chatham Town

Ashikodi returned to the Isthmian League in November 2016 with a move to Chatham Town. He made just four appearances for the club before an on-the-pitch incident resulted in his release. [104] An argument with teammate Ricky Freeman led to the striker storming off the pitch, having come on just seven minutes earlier, and leaving his team with 10 men for the final 15 minutes having made all three substitutions. [105]

Walton Casuals

In March 2017, Ashikodi returned to Isthmian League Division One South club Walton Casuals for his second spell with the club.

[107] He made a total of six appearances before leaving the club at the end of the season. [107]

Three Bridges

Ahead of the 2017–18 season, Ashikodi joined Southern Combination Premier Division side Three Bridges. [108] On 26 August, he made his debut as a substitute in a 1–1 draw with Eastbourne Town and was involved in an incident after the full-time whistle. [109] Involved in a row over a stolen mobile phone, Ashikodi was grabbed around the neck by a supporter leading him to punch the supporter. [110] The club claimed the striker has acting in self defence. [111] He made a further four appearances for the club. [108]

Rochester United

On 15 November 2017, Ashikodi made his debut for Southern Counties East Premier Division side Rochester United. [112] Three days later, he scored his first goal for the club in a 5–2 defeat against Glebe. [113] He also scored back-to-back goals with a brace at AFC Croydon Athletic and a late consolation goal against Rusthall. [114] [115] The following month, Ashikodi scored in further back-to-back appearances against Glebe and Hollands & Blair. [116] His 82nd-minute strike in the latter earned Ashikodi his first win in eight games, but he made just one further appearance in a 3–1 defeat at Lordswood on 6 January 2018. [117] [118]

VCD Athletic

Ashikodi started the 2018–19 season on the books of Isthmian League South East Division club VCD Athletic. [119] After only one league appearance, he moved to South Park of the South Central Division, [120] before being brought back to VCD Athletic on 12 October 2018. [121] He retired at the end of that season.

International career

Ashikodi was initially eligible to represent Nigeria, England or Antigua & Barbuda at international level.

He represented England at youth level, and in May 2002 made his debut for the Under-16s in a 3–1 friendly victory against Belgium. He scored England's second goal in the 29th minute. [122]

Ashikodi played in the 2002 Victory Shield, scoring in a 1–0 victory against Wales on 1 November, and made his final appearance for the Under-16s in a 2–2 draw with Germany in November. [122] [123] He scored three goals in eight caps before joining the Under-17s, making his debut in a 4–0 victory against the Faroe Islands in the 2002 Nordic Tournament. [124] He scored his first goal for the Under-17s almost a year later, netting the winning goal in a 1–0 victory over the United States on 7 July 2003. [125] He made five appearances for England at Under-17 level, scoring one goal. [124] [125]

On 10 June 2005, Ashikodi made a single appearance for the Under-18s as a substitute in a 0–0 home draw with Norway. [126] He made his debut for the Under-19s in November and scored both goals in a 2–1 victory against Switzerland. [127] Ashikodi made his final appearance in a 2–1 victory over Northern Ireland on 20 May 2006, having scored three goals in three games for the Under-19s. [127] [128]

He made his international debut for Antigua and Barbuda as an 81st-minute substitute in a 3–1 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification defeat to Guatemala on 7 September 2012. [129]

Personal life

Ashikodi was born in Lagos, Nigeria and moved to London. After leaving professional football, Ashikodi began working as a wellbeing personal trainer in Twickenham. [130]

He has resented his "bad boy" jibes after the knife incident that lead to his departure from Millwall. Speaking to the York Press in 2011, he said:

"People mistake me for something I'm not because of one incident when I was 15. That was a very long time ago and I've never been in trouble like that since. I've had a few arguments with players but no big issues. People don't know what happened back then at Millwall but don't seem to want to let it go. They should ask me if they want to find out the truth. I was being bullied at the time and it did not damage my career because I went on to join West Ham." [131]
