Ashville Football Club can this evening confirm the signing of talented young full back, Connor Rowland.

Rowland joins Ashville from the Wrexham AFC academy following a 5 year stint with the Red Dragons. During that time period the 16 year old right sided full back has also represented both Wirral and Merseyside Schoolboys.

Rowland played the first 45 minutes of yesterday’s friendly defeat against Llay Miners Welfare, a first half performance which left manager Ste Scott so impressed that he signed the defender just this morning. 

The talented teenager was the captain for Calday Football Club when they won the ESFA National Championship in 2022 as well being part of the Wirral Schoolboys side that became national champions in 2023.

When asked for his first impressions of Ashville, Rowland had this to say: “It’s a class environment to be around with a great set of players and a supportive management team who always give it their all! The lads have made me feel very welcome, with a clear and obvious desire to win every game”.

When asked about what attracted him to join Ashville, the Wallasey native was short yet emphatic in his response stating: We’re the biggest local club and we have a really promising future”. 

Despite being by far the youngest player in the squad, Rowland has big aspirations for the season ahead: “I’m looking forward to a new challenge and playing a role in pushing the club to success”.
