Jonathan James Ashton (born 4 October 1982) is an English former professional footballer who played as a defender. He is a first-team fitness coach at Championship club Ipswich Town.
A product of Leicester City's youth academy, Ashton made seven Premier League appearances for the club during the 2001–02 season. During his time at Leicester, he was loaned out to Notts County and Oxford United to gain first-team experience. He joined Oxford on a permanent basis in September 2003 and played 103 matches for the club over three league seasons, before being released in May 2006. Ashton signed for Rushden & Diamonds ahead of the 2006–07 season, spending one season there before joining Essex club Grays Athletic on a free transfer in May 2007. He spent one-and-a-half years with Grays, during which he earned four caps for the England C team.
Ashton signed for fellow Conference Premier club Stevenage Borough for an undisclosed fee in January 2009. He made 234 appearances during his six years at Stevenage, helping the club earn back-to-back promotions from the Conference Premier to League One. Ashton left Stevenage in the summer of 2015 and joined Crawley Town of League Two. He then signed for National League club Braintree Town in July 2016, before returning to Grays Athletic on loan. Having initially joined Grays permanently ahead of the 2017–18 season, Ashton was offered a player-assistant manager contract at hometown club Nuneaton Town, which he signed in August 2017. The season proved to be Ashton's final season playing; as he returned to Stevenage as a fitness coach, before joining Ipswich Town performing the same role in May 2021.
