Received life membership in 2024.
Starting in 2006 Ash joined Ainslie after having already displayed a talent for sports in the ACTAS’s junior soccer program, his time there honing his strength and speed. Initially unsure of making the jump from soccer to AFL, Ash took the chance to come to the 2006 pre-season training after several years of prodding from his friend and fellow Ainslie player Matthew and with some support from his father and his love of soccer starting to fade Ash began to show off his talents while wearing the tri-colours.
Playing 189 senior games over his career, Ash was known as a gentleman player. Never complaining or backchatting at training or game day, showing respect to his team and opposition both on and off the field. This attitude shone through over his career, participating in 5 premierships, being recruited to represent ACTAFL multiple times, and twice receiving the runner up best and fairest in the First Grade team. Retiring in 2018 to spend time with his growing family.
