Matthew "Matty" Ashurst is a professional rugby league footballer who plays for St Helens in the European Super League. Ashurst is predominantly a second-row forward and signed for the club from Wigan St Patrick's having previously played junior football for the Chorley Panthers. The 2009 season turned out to be a break through year for the Academy product, with Ashusrt making 13 appearances for the first team, 10 of which came off the substitutes bench. He scored one try in these games. In 2010, his first team opportunities were far from halted, in fact enhanced thanks to injuries, and Ashurst managed to find the line much more than in his début year.^[2]

Début season (2009)

Ashurst made his first-team début for St Helens in a 38-12 win over Salford City Reds in round 5 of Super League XIV, where he came off the interchange bench.
