The club are delighted to announce our fifth summer signing in Australian defender Jayden Ashbourne.
Jayden joins the Marketmen, having just moved to the UK following a spell as a professional at Newcastle Jets.
The defender, who can play at full-back or wimg-back, has impressed throughout pre-season while being on trial.
Assistant Manager Tom Rothery told the club website, "Jayden approached me on Linked in and asked if he could come in pre-season. He was moving from Australia where he played professionally for the Newcastle Jets U23’s.
He had been with us all of pre-season and has done really well. He’s a great lad and has fitted in with the team and has impressed both myself and Kev so we felt it the correct thing to offer him a deal and give him that opportunity to see how he does at this level. He’s a good play, very tenacious and has great ability. Hopefully this works well for us all."
Jayden said, "It's really good. It's really exciting.
Obviously, we're in a really good league, and I'm just looking forward to playing some actual competition matches. I did some research into clubs I was interested in, and Needham Market caught my eye with the run you went on last season. So, that definitely caught my eye, and it's, from what I've seen, definitely a club that I
wanted to be a part of. It was good
that I spent the whole pre-season with Needham Market to really get used to all the players and the whole culture of it."
