Barnet Football Club has signed goalkeeper Taye Ashby-Hammond on a free transfer. The 27-year-old shot-stopper joins the Bees following the expiration of his contract at League One side Stevenage.
Barnet is currently 8th in League Two, with 76 points from 46 games, and a recent form of WWWWW. This signing is a significant boost to their squad ahead of the new season.
Ashby-Hammond began his career in the academy at Premier League side Fulham, where he developed through the youth ranks and also represented England at youth international level.
| Season | Club | Appearances |
|---|---|---|
| 2021/22 | Boreham Wood | 26 |
| 2023 | Stevenage | 41 |
Manager Dean Brennan said: “We’ve been watching Taye from afar for a long time. He first came to our attention when he was on loan at Boreham Wood and we actually tried to get him at the football club on a number of occasions. He’s been promoted out of this division with Stevenage, and we think he’s a great age for us, mature keeper, good from crosses and an all-round goalkeeper, very reliable and some of the references we’ve had on him have been outstanding.
Barnet's last result was a 2-1 win against Harrogate Town on 2026-05-02. With this new signing, the team is looking to build on their current momentum and make a push for the top of the league table.
The current league standing is:
| Category | Value |
|---|---|
| League standing | 8th in League Two |
| Points | 76 |
| Recent form | WWWWW |
| Goals scored | 70 |
| Goals conceded | 53 |
| Goal difference | +17 |
| Title race | 11 points behind leaders Bromley |
