Career
Ashley Hugill is from Melbourne, east of York, and went to school in Pocklington . He started out with pool and then switched to snooker. For his 11th birthday he got snooker lessons as a gift. He trained first in York and later several times a week at the Snooker Academy in Sheffield , where he could also compete against professionals such as Ronnie O'Sullivan and Ding Junhui . But it wasn't until the age of 19 that he took part in the professional tournaments of the Players Tour Championship (PTC) in England, open to amateurs , and at the end of the 2013/14 season he also applied to the Q School , but lost his opening matches.
The following year he played the entire PTC Eurotour and reached the main tournament at the Bulgarian Open 2014 . In the Q School 2015 he only failed in the group semi-finals against Chen Zhe . Due to his placement in the Q School Order of Merit, however, he was one of the players who were allowed to occupy free places in the qualification for the professional tournaments of the 2015/16 season . At the Australian Open he defeated Zhang Yong and at the German Masters he achieved a 5-1 victory over world number three Neil Robertson . After that, however, he missed the entry into the main tournament. In contrast, he succeeded in all 6 European PTC tournaments. He qualified for the EBSA Amateur Play Offs , where he was eliminated in the semi-finals. The subsequent Q School also ended in the quarter-finals at the latest.
After all, it was enough again for the Order of Merit, which means he was represented as a substitute on the Main Tour even after the Players Tour Championship was canceled . His best result in the 2016/17 season was reaching the round of 32 in the snooker shoot-out . In May 2017, he entered the Q School for the fourth time and made it to the group final at the first tournament . There he defeated William Lemons and thus secured membership of the Main Tour as a professional snooker for two years.
In the season 2017/18 Hugill had when he his first success with a win over Mitchell man in qualifying for the Indian Open for the first time moved into the main round of a pure professional tournament. At the Scottish Open he reached the last sixteen, where he beat Allister Carter 4-3 . In the last sixteen he lost to John Higgins 4-0.
After he had to leave the professional tour at the end of the 2018/19 season , he won the WSF Open a year later with a 5-3 win over Iulian Boiko and thus qualified for the 2020/21 and 2021/22 seasons .
