Ashworth was playing Non-League football for Bangor City before he joined Southend United in 1963.[1] Spells with Hartlepools United and Tranmere Rovers followed, before moving to Chester in time for 1967–68.
At Chester, Ashworth had a reputation as a popular but volatile player.[2] In his final season at the club (1969–70) he was twice hit with six-week suspensions for disciplinary reasons.[2] The second suspension led to him being placed on the transfer list and he ended his career in The Football League, joining Altrincham.[2] He went on to play for Ellesmere Port Town before a second spell with Altrincham.[3]
Ashworth later returned to Bangor and enjoyed a spell as caretaker player-manager of the club.[4]
