A product of the Blackpool youth team, Ash Eastham signed professional terms with the Seasiders in May 2009 and gained valuable first-team experience on-loan at Cheltenham Town.
He is predominantly a centre-back and joined Carlisle United on a short-term loan deal, before returning to Cheltenham Town on-loan in January 2011.
His impressive displays last season drew the attentions of a number of Football League clubs and lead to him being handed a new one-year deal in the summer of 2011.
A season-long loan spell followed in 2011/12, with Eastham racking up 22 appearances at League One outfit Bury.
