Stanley Luca Ashbee (born 28 November 2006) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a defender for EFL Championship club Hull City. Primarily a centre-back, he represents the Republic of Ireland at youth level.
Having come through the club's academy ranks, Ashbee signed his first professional contract with Hull City on 7 December 2023.
