The Truro City legend is no stranger to promotions having achieved five during his 11 years with the White Tigers, who he departed in 2016.

Ash took over Mousehole in June 2019 and described the setup as more professional than his experience at Truro.

“The club are really ambitious,” he told The NLP. “We have GPS tracking and a video analyst. Unfortunately, some away games end up being filmed at pitch level which isn’t always helpful!

“We train twice a week which is unheard of for Step 6. Last year we had three boys living in Penzance and training full-time. They were employed by the club to coach the junior teams and train every day with my assistant coach. We have a lot of hungry, young players.
