Ashley Michael Fletcher (born 2 October 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for Middlesbrough and the England under-20 team.
Born in Keighley, West Yorkshire, Fletcher attended Canon Slade School, where he obtained 12 GCSEs all with grades of either A or B. He played football, cricket, basketball, and athletics for the school.
After starting his career at Bolton Wanderers, joining the club at the age of nine, Fletcher moved to Manchester United at the age of 13. He signed his first professional contract with Manchester United in May 2014.
With first-team action at Manchester United hard to come by, Fletcher signed for Barnsley on loan in January 2016. He scored on his professional debut on 9 January 2016, in a 1–1 draw with Fleetwood Town in the Football League Trophy Northern Area Final first leg, and scored his first league goal on 20 February 2016.
On 3 April 2016 he scored a goal in the 2016 Football League Trophy Final as Barnsley won the competition. On 29 May 2016, he scored the opening goal in Barnsley's 3–1 victory in the 2016 Football League One play-off Final against Millwall, helping Barnsley return to the Championship. In total Fletcher scored nine goals in 27 games for Barnsley during his spell at the club.
After impressing while on loan at Barnsley, Fletcher was offered a new contract at Manchester United amid interest from Championship side Leeds United. On 23 June 2016, it was reported that he had turned down the contract offer to stay at Manchester United but would continue to train at the club.
