Ashley Boatswain returns to Ipswich Town

Woking Football Club can confirm that 20-year-old on-loan striker Ashley Boatswain has returned to his parent club, Ipswich Town. 

Ashley made his debut for the Cards against Brackley Town in the FA Cup 4th Qualifying Round, back in October, scoring in our 1-1 draw. He went on to score four more goals and provided 1 assist in 20 appearances.

Director of Football Jody Brown commented: “As I said when we extended Ashley’s stay, his numbers were excellent, 5 goals and 1 assist in 7 starts shows development in terms of the numbers from his first loan at Fylde.”

“A good young man, who enjoyed his time here, and we enjoyed having him.”

“However, it’s important for his continued development to be playing. His game time has been heavily reduced with the addition of Joe Gbodé and the return to a front three rather than the two recently.”

“I spoke with Ipswich and we mutually agreed it’ll be good for Ashley to go back, but I’d fully expect him to go out on loan to another club.”

“Thank you to Ipswich Town, their support of the player at games, and their communication with ourselves has been excellent. The relationship we have with them is very much appreciated.”

The club would like to thank Ashley for his professionalism and contribution during his time with us and wish him every success in the future.
