William "Nat" Asquith[1] was a rugby league footballer who played for Castleford from September 1926. He introduced Arthur Atkinson to the sport when he suggested as they were going home from work at a coal pit that they should detour to watch Castleford training at their old ground.[2] When Castleford became a professional club for the 1926–27 season, Asquith made his debut in their 4 September 1926 defeat by Hunslet.[3] A newspaper report of 1929 commented that he and Atkinson were "usually a strong confederacy on the Castleford right wing"[4] while Robin Adair wrote a year later in the Hull Daily Mail that he thought Asquith was "destined for higher honours".[5]
Asquith was hospitalised after the match against Featherstone Rovers on 25 December 1930, when he suffered a ruptured spleen.[6] He did not play again, nor had he been able to work at the time when his club arranged a benefit match for him against Halifax in April 1934.[1][7]
