In a landmark moment for the club and the local community, Wythenshawe FC are delighted to announce the signing of Ashley Leather, one of non-league football’s most exciting talents, who has turned down interest from higher-tier clubs to join his hometown team.

The 26-year-old forward, renowned for his explosive pace, sharp finishing, and tireless work rate, arrives at Wythenshawe FC amid interest from multiple clubs further up the football pyramid. Despite the lure of bigger stages, Ashley has chosen to return home and represent the place where it all began.

“I’ve had offers from clubs higher up, and I’m grateful for that,” said Ashley. “But this is about more than football. Playing for my local club feels incredible! There’s a real sense of community and belonging that comes with it. Every game brings excitement and the chance to connect with teammates and fans. It’s not just about the sport but it’s also about the shared passion and pride in representing the local area.” 

Manager James Kinsey, hailed the signing as a marker for the standards he expects:

“To have a player of Ashley’s calibre choose us over clubs higher up the ladder speaks volumes about his character, and about the ambition we have here. This isn’t just a statement—this is a signal of intent.

“We are keen to have some Wythenshawe based lads in the squad and in signing Ash, we’ve signed one of the best.”

The move is a major boost for Wythenshawe FC’s new era, Ashley will join up with the Ammies for the new season on 1st June.

Ashley Leather, he’s one of our own!
