Winger with League Two experience joins Worthing FC
Experienced winger Ashley Nathaniel-George has become Worthing’s third new signing of the summer ahead of their National League bow.
He is joining the Rebels upon the expiry of his contract at York City.
The 31-year-old joins midfielders Noor Husin and Tyrique Clarke in arriving at Woodside Road since the club secured the National South title and promotion to the top division of non-league.
Nathaniel-George reunites with manager Adam Hinshelwood, the pair having worked together at York City after he recruited the winger from Maidenhead United in 2024.
In the 2024/25 season, the diminutive winger scored six times for York in the fifth tier including a long-range strike in the comprehensive victory over former side Maidenhead.
He had spells with Arsenal, Watford, Wycombe Wanderers and Wealdstone as a youth player and served Potters Bar Town, Hendon, Crawley Town, Southend United, Ebbsfleet United, Torquay United and Maidenhead United before joining York.
Worthing said: “Comfortable playing on either flank, Nathaniel-George has racked up over a century of appearances in the National League for the likes of Wealdstone, York and Hartlepool while also turning out 75 times in League Two.
"Following Hinsh’s return to Worthing in October, Nathaniel-George found game time hard to come by at the LNER Community Stadium, with subsequent loan spells at fellow National League clubs Hartlepool United and Wealdstone following.
“Alongside his wealth of experience at club level, our newest Red has also featured on the international stage. Representing Antigua & Barbuda, ANG has recorded 11 caps for the Caribbean islands to date, scoring once in a CONCACAF Nations League B victory over Guadeloupe.
“He joins fellow recent transfer Noor Husin in bringing some international flair to the Sussex Transport Community Stadium.”
Hinshelwood said: “Ash is a great addition to our attacking options. On his day he can be a real game changer with the way he can just glide past players, and I’m really excited to be working with him again.”
