Bio
Recruited from Mount Waverley and the son of former St Kilda player David Prescott, Ashley Prescott built a reputation as a disciplined and selfless utility. After struggling to cement a spot in the Richmond senior side during his first two seasons, he carved out a niche in 1995 as a determined midfield tagger, playing 21 games that year and featuring in the Tigers' finals campaign. He remained a regular fixture at Punt Road until the end of 1998, when he departed the club and was handed a lifeline by Fremantle with the second pick in the 1999 Pre-Season Draft.
Prescott made an immediate impact out west, reinventing himself as a leader for the then-young Dockers outfit. His professionalism and work ethic saw him finish eighth in the club's Best and Fairest and win the Best Clubman award in his first season at Fremantle. While he was a valuable asset who could play tight defensive roles or run through the midfield, persistent hamstring injuries eventually took their toll, restricting his output in 2000 and 2001 before forcing his retirement. He has since established a significant post-playing legacy as a career coach, including a long tenure at Claremont in the WAFL and assistant roles at multiple AFL clubs.
