Huddersfield Town teenage attacking midfielder Cameron Ashia enjoyed a moment he will never forget after scoring a dramatic late equaliser in his side’s 2–2 League One draw with Blackpool.

The 19-year-old rose highest in the 88th minute to glance home a well-delivered cross, completing a stirring comeback for Huddersfield after they had fallen two goals behind. His perfectly timed header rescued a valuable point and sent the home fans into celebration.

But beyond the result, the goal carried special personal significance for the Ghanaian youngster. Speaking after the match, Ashia revealed that it was the first headed goal of his entire career—and one linked to a childhood promise made more than seven years ago.

“I’ve never scored a header in my life. But now that I’ve scored it, my dad can finally cut his dreads. He said that when I was 12, so I’ve been trying to score a header since then,” Ashia shared with a smile.

Although he has started just two of his 14 appearances this season, Ashia continues to prove his value as an impact substitute.

His late strike against Blackpool takes his season tally to three goals and two assists, underlining his growing reputation as a player capable of changing games in decisive moments.

For Ashia, it was more than just a goal—it was a long-awaited breakthrough and a family promise finally kept.
