Career



Kilmarnock


Ashcroft made his debut for Kilmarnock on 11 May 2013, as a substitute in a 3–2 victory against Dundee in the Scottish Premier League[2] and then four days later scored his first career goal in a 3–1 loss against Hibernian.[3] On 14 May 2013, Ashcroft signed a new contract with Kilmarnock, keeping him at the club until 2016.[4] Ashcroft captained Kilmarnock for the first time on 4 April 2015, aged 21, in a 2–1 defeat to Motherwell at Rugby Park.[5] On 23 May 2016, he was one of six players released at the end of their contract.[6]


Dunfermline Athletic


Shortly afterwards Ashcroft signed for recently promoted Scottish Championship side Dunfermline Athletic,[7] making his first start for the club in a 3–0 victory over Arbroath in the Scottish League Cup.[8] His first goal for the club was versus Fife rivals Cowdenbeath in the same competition, where he scored from a Kallum Higginbotham free-kick.[9] Ashcroft's first league match for the Pars was versus Dumbarton, and saw him concede a late penalty and receive a straight red for his last-man challenge on former Dunfermline striker Robert Thomson, though Dunfermline ended the match as 4–3 winners.[10]

Ashcroft was four seasons with the Pars and captained the club for the 2018–19 season.[11] He was released by the club in May 2020 following the expiry of his contract, having appeared in over 160 matches.[12]


Dundee


In July 2020, Ashcroft signed a two-year deal with Dundee.[13] A regular starter throughout the season, Ashcroft scored his first competitive goal for the Dee in a Scottish Cup win against Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic.[14] Ashcroft would score his first and second league goals for them in an away win against Alloa Athletic.[15] At the end of the league season, Ashcroft was awarded the Andrew De Vries Player of the Year award, as well as the Player's Player of the Year award.[16] Ashcroft was also named to PFA Scotland's Championship Team of the Year for 2020–21.[17] Along with his impressive defensive performances, Ashcroft would amass 7 goals in all competitions, including one in the 2nd leg of the Premiership play-offs final, and was a major factor in helping Dundee gain promotion to the Scottish Premiership.[18] Ashcroft would also be named to the SPFL's Championship Team of the Season.[19]

During a game against Motherwell in December 2021, Ashcroft would damage a tendon in his hamstring which would require surgery and keep him out for approximately 3–4 months.[20] While out with injury, Ashcroft would sign a contract extension with Dundee, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2023.[21] Ashcroft made his return from injury off the bench in a league game against Hibernian in March 2022.[22] After just two starts however, Ashcroft would experience a recurrence of the hamstring injury against Rangers that would end his season and required surgery again.[23]

Ashcroft would make his return for Dundee off the bench in an away league win over Raith Rovers in August.[24] He would score in his first start of the season in a Scottish League Cup win over Falkirk.[25]
