Ashlie Crofts (24 April 1998) is a midfielder who plays for Canberra United in the W-League.[1]
In addition to her soccer career she played Futsal which she credits with helping her technical game.
In 2015 she began her senior career with Marconi Stallions, before moving to the Blacktown Spartans in the National Premier Leagues NSW where she came third in the golden boot with 16 goals.[2][3][4]
Crofts was recruited by Canberra for the 2019–20 season. At the time she had thought the chance to play in the W-league had passed her by, but got a call from the Canberra coach Heather Garriock to join the team after seeing her perform in the NPL.[5]
Crofts was a substitute in Canberra's first match of the season, and got her first start in a match in the third round against Newcastle Jets where she scored her first goal in a 3–2 victory.[6][7] This was Canberra's first victory in 741 days.[8]
