Harrison Ashby joined Swansea City on a season-long loan from Newcastle United ahead of the 2023-24 season.

The 21-year-old defender wears the number 30 shirt.

The Scottish age-grade international – who was born in Milton Keynes – started his career in the youth ranks at Chelsea, before moving to West Ham.

Ashby, a right-back, spent more than 12 years with the Hammers, signing a first professional deal in the summer of 2020.

Having appeared for the club’s under-21s in the EFL Trophy, he made his senior debut in a Carabao Cup clash against Charlton in September 2020.

He made six further first-team appearances, including a Premier League debut against Arsenal in December 2021, and a Europa League outing against Dinamo Zagreb the next month.

Ashby joined Newcastle in January 2023, but a hamstring injury limited his opportunities over the remainder of the season at a club where he has been identified as a long-term successor to Kieran Trippier.
