Ashley Carty successfully qualified for the Crucible stages of the World Championship for the first time in 2020 following victories against Ross Muir, Jimmy Robertson and Robert Milkins, before defeat to Stuart Bingham 10-7 on his debut.
The man from Rotherham previously joined the World Snooker Tour for the first time in May 2018 by qualifying from Q School Event 3, having also competed in several events as an amateur top up players previously.
His best run in a ranking event came at the 2023 European Masters in Nuremberg, Germany where he defeated Martin O’Donnell, Joe O’Connor, Thepchaiya Un-Nooh and Ricky Walden to reach the quarter-finals before he fell to a 5-1 defeat at the hands of former world champion Judd Trump.
At amateur level his achievements include a run to the final of the EBSA European Under-21 Championship in 2013, losing to James Cahill.
In March 2023, Carty defeated Florian Nuessle 5-2 to win the WPBSA Q Tour Play-Off and regain a place on the World Snooker Tour, following relegation a year earlier.
