HARRY Ashfield has signed a new contract with Wrexham AFC until the end of the 2026/27 season, with the option of an additional year.

A Level 3 Sports learner at Coleg Cambria Yale and former Darland High School pupil, he won the Bob Clark Academy Player of the Year for the 2023/24 season after impressing for Nick Chadwick’s Under-18 side.

Building upon his performances last season, the creative midfielder has featured six times for Phil Parkinson’s team in all competitions.

Born in Wrexham, having grown up supporting the Red Dragons, he scored his first professional goal for the Club on February 4, in a 4-1 victory over Port Vale in the Vertu Trophy.

On signing his new contract, 18 year-old Harry said: “It’s an excellent feeling to sign a new deal with my club. I’m excited to kick-on and see what I can do in the first team – hopefully I can prove myself.”

Harry has developed through the Club’s Academy from U12s to the first team, making his professional debut in October 2023 against Crewe Alexandra.

His development continued to be highlighted as he travelled to TST in North Carolina, before joining the Wrex Coast Tour of the USA and Canada.

He played in both games in the USA against AFC Bournemouth and Chelsea, where the Red Dragons put in impressive performances and drew both fixtures.

Manager Phil Parkinson added: “I’d like to congratulate Harry on his new contract. He’s worked very hard right from day one of pre-season and we’re looking to seeing his development.”
