Stanley Luca Ashbee (born 28 November 2006) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a defender for club Hull City. Primarily a centre-back, he represents the Republic of Ireland at youth level.
Having come through the club's academy ranks, Ashbee signed his first professional contract with Hull City on 7 December 2023.[2] On 16 January 2024, he made his first team debut in a third round replay in the FA Cup.[3] Away at Birmingham City, Ashbee would play the opening 80 minutes before being substituted in the 2–1 defeat.[4]
On 30 April 2024, Ashbee was named the Frank Donoghue Academy Player of the Year at Hull City for the second consecutive season.[5] [6]
Although born and raised in England, Ashbee qualifies for the Republic of Ireland through his Irish heritage. His first call-up for the Republic of Ireland was on 6 April 2022 for the U16s.[7]
In February 2023, Ashbee was called up to the U17s for the first time.[8] Two months later, he made one appearance at the 2023 UEFA European Under-17 Championship, in Ireland's opening game against Poland, a 5–1 defeat.[9]
In March 2024, Ashbee debuted for the U19s in two games against Slovakia, nearly scoring in both matches.[10] [11]
Ashbee is the son of former Cambridge United and Hull City midfielder Ian Ashbee.[3]
