Where is Ian Ashbee now?

A legend at Hull City after captaining the side from the bottom division all the way to the Premier League, Ian Ashbee hung up his boots in 2012 after a spell with Preston North End.

Starting his playing career at Derby County in 1994, he went onto make over 500 first-team appearances over a 16-year period for just four clubs winning four promotions with Hull. He also made over 200 appearances for Cambridge United between 1996 and 2002.

Upon retiring from playing Ashbee pursued interests away from the game and spent time working in the luxury watch market before getting persuaded to return to football by former team-mate Curtis Woodhouse in 2015 to join him at Hull United AFC as his assistant manager.

Six months later he was elected in as the new chairman of the club with the goal of reaching the Conference North but he stepped down after a year as he was unable to commit to the time.

He then joined up with Woodhouse for a second time as his assistant manager at Bridlington Town but left due to work commitments

In 2018 he launched UK Oil Services, a company which provides quick and reliable fuel deliveries to businesses across the country. He currently works as managing director of the firm.
