Club career

edit

Born in Skopje, Macedonia, Ashkovski started his career in Serbia,[1] playing with FK Teleoptik in the Serbian First League. After two solid seasons with Teleoptik, he moved to Partizan in summer 2012. He made his debut for Partizan on November 11, 2012, against FK Radnički 1923.[2] In the summer of 2013, he was loaned to another SuperLiga side, FK Donji Srem. He was loaned to Napredak Kruševac in 2014, but moved to the reigning Tippeliga champions, Strømsgodset, on a half-year loan deal in July the same year. The Norwegian club had an option to buy the player, which was not exercised.[3]

International career

edit

In 2008, Ashkovski started representing Macedonia at U17 level, and he was a regular presence for the U19 and U21 teams.[4]

After a good start of season in the 2015–16 Serbian SuperLiga with FK Novi Pazar where he scored three goals in the first six rounds, on 21 August 2015 Ashkovski received a call from Macedonia national team coach Ljubinko Drulović.[5] He made his senior debut for North Macedonia in a September 2015 European Championship qualification match against Luxembourg and has, as of 24 February 2024, earned a total of 28 caps, scoring no goals.[6]
