Ashley Hay, born 10 July 2003 in England, is a footballer who at the sprightly age of 22 plies his trade in the fiercely competitive Scottish Premiership. This game-hardened forward is primarily utilised in the striker position for Dundee, where he sports the number 11 jersey with aplomb. A sturdy man, Hay stands at a respectable 5ft 11in (1.81m) and tips the scale at 12st 1lb (77kg).
As it presently stands, Hay's market value rings up to a humble €100k (£85k), at least according to Transfermarkt. This figure, while far from astronomic, testifies to his potential and his steady advancement in the world of football.
Hay's journey to the Scottish Premiership is a tale of dedication and tireless effort. In September 2023, he left the familiar terrains of Hitchin Town, English Lower Leagues team, to embark on his footballing career further afield. His first port of call was Brentford, a club then competing in the high-octane arenas of English Premier League. The agreement of this transfer saw Hay bequeathed to Brentford for an undisclosed fee.
A new chapter was penned in Hay's rapid-rising career when, in January 2025, he was transferred to Cheltenham Town, a club tussling in English League Two, on loan. Whether this move was a stepping stone or a stumbling block is a debate for another day. What's incontestable, however, is it marked a significant milestone in Hay's trajectory.
As the curtains of summer 2025 were drawn, Hay bid farewell to Brentford and took a leap of faith crossing the border to Dundee, in the Scottish Premiership. There he remains today, carving out a name for himself in the heartlands of Scottish football.
