Ashley made his debut for the Club towards the end of the Ryman League winning season after joining from St Albans for a small fee, at home to Basingstoke Town.

| After coming on as sub against Kidderminster in the LDV Vans Trophy, Yohance Lewis has made his second senior appearance for the Daggers in the Essex Senior Cup at Grays. Yohance was a product of Charlton's youth academy and was part of the group who visited an army base where a team-mate tragically lost his life. Yohance was released by Charlton in the summer and has also trialled at Colchester. Meanwhile, Tristram Chambers also made his first Daggers appearance against Grays after playing one reserve game this year. |
