Challenge Cup final: Warrington winger Matty Ashton fuelled by family pride

The emergence of Ashton at elite level is a testament to his character, hard work, will, and, of course, talent.

He is the perfect example of clubs looking below the Super League to acquire talent that slipped through the cracks.

Since breaking through at Swinton, he has scored 92 tries in 112 games, has notched scores at Test level for England and is now on the cusp of silverware.

For all his achievements, Ashton remains humble and retains strong ties with his background.

The 26-year-old helps out at his old college and, when possible, pops in at Rochdale Mayfield, where his achievements are celebrated with some of his landmark shirts adorning the walls.

“I think it will be a free bar tab for life,” Ashton said of potentially heading back to the club as a Challenge Cup winner.

“I love going back there, it’s a place I owe a lot to. Hopefully I can get the win and take the trophy back to them.”

Matty Ashton, the spectacular flier but with feet firmly on the ground, is ready for his chance to shine.
