Dundee Football Club are delighted to announce the permanent signing of Ashley Hay on a two-year deal from Brentford, subject to international clearance.
The 21-year-old forward worked his way through the lower leagues in England, playing for Hitchin Town in the Southern League Premier Division Central, before signing for Brentford in August 2023. He has worked closely with Head Coach Steven Pressley whilst at the Premier League club.
Ashley was the joint-leading scorer for Brentford B in the 2023/24 season, having captained the side on occasion. Hay joined English League Two side Cheltenham Town on loan in January 2025 for the rest of the season, playing 23 times and scoring 3 goals.
Speaking after joining the Dark Blues Ashley said, “Excited to be here, can’t wait to meet all the boys. I was with Steven at Brentford, he came to me and my agent, and proposed for me to come here, I heard about the project and couldn’t wait to get down. We had a good chat, explained what he wants from me, what he sees in me, I trust in him fully and can’t wait to get started.”
Welcome to The Dee Ashley!
