Joshua James Ashby (born 3 May 1996) is an English professional footballer who plays for Oxford City.
Ashby graduated out of the Oxford United youth team, signing a three-year professional contract in February 2014. Manager Michael Appleton said that "I've been really impressed with the kid since I walked through the door. From day one my first thought was 'who is that? Tell me about him'". He made his debut for the club on 24 January 2015, playing the full 90 minutes of a 2âÂÂ2 draw with Exeter City at the Kassam Stadium.
After loan periods at A.F.C. Telford United, Brackley Town and Oxford City, Ashby was released by Oxford United and joined Oxford City on a one-year contract in June 2018. In the 2020âÂÂ21 season, Ashby scored the winning penalty in City's 2âÂÂ1 victory over Northampton Town, sending them through to the second round of the FA Cup.
