Bernard Patrick Ashley-Seal (born 21 November 1998) is an English footballer who plays as a striker. He is signed to Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Career

Ashley-Seal was on the books at Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur before joining Norwich's academy in 2015. In October 2015, he was named by The Guardian as one of the top twenty prospects of his age group to look out for.[2] Despite this, he did not sign a professional contract with the club and, despite reported interest from Leicester City,[3] instead had trials with Chelsea and Stoke.[4]

In October 2017 he signed with Wolverhampton Wanderers in a two-an-a-half-year deal.[5] He made his professional debut for the club on 28 August 2018 in a 2–0 League Cup victory at Sheffield Wednesday, coming on as a substitute in the 80th minute for Léo Bonatini.[6]
