Having come through the club's academy ranks, Ashbee signed his first professional contract with Hull City on 7 December 2023.[2] On 16 January 2024, he made his first team debut in a third round replay in the FA Cup.[3] Away at Birmingham City, Ashbee would play the opening 80 minutes before being substituted in the 2–1 defeat.[4]
On 30 April 2024, Ashbee was named the Frank Donoghue Academy Player of the Year at Hull City for the second consecutive season.[5][6]

In February 2023, Ashbee was called up to the U17s for the first time.[8] Two months later, he made one appearance at the 2023 UEFA European Under-17 Championship, in Ireland's opening game against Poland, a 5–1 defeat.[9]
