He said: “We got the deal done on Saturday, so we’re naturally delighted.
“Ashley is an exciting winger who will play predominantly on the left. He can also do a job for us in attack or just off the front.
“He will be a very exciting addition to the UCL. He is quick, skilful and will bring great experience and balance to the side. I know for a fact that he had options to sign for clubs higher up than us.
“It’s great to have a top left sided player signed up, they are few and far between. When the likes of Ashley become available you have to do all you can to get them – and I’m delighted that we have got him.
