Club career
Beginning as an apprentice at Sheffield United, Askham was released in May 2008, and had a trial at Manchester United in September of the same year. He signed for Chesterfield three months later on a one-month contract,[3] which was extended to the end of the season in January 2009.[4] He was sent out on loan to Garforth Town in March 2009, but returned to Chesterfield in May. He made his Chesterfield debut on 2 May 2009, coming on as a 70th-minute substitute for Scott Boden in a 2–0 home defeat by Bradford City.[5] However, after just six months with the Spireites, he was released.[6]
Askham joined Northern Premier League Premier Division club Guiseley in September 2009.[7]
