He now works as a coach for Burnley, with the club confirming on 16 October 2012 that he has taken on the role of caretaker manager (following the departure of Eddie Howe to Bournemouth).
Pashley's career started when he was promoted from the youth team to the first-team squad by then Football League First Division side Burnley in 1972.
[4] In 1980–81, Pashley made thirty league appearances, again under two managers – this time Alan Ball and his successor, Allan Brown.
[5] Pashley was ever-present in Allan Brown's first full season in charge, 1981–82, appearing in each of the club's 53 league and cup games.
Pashley spent a large portion of the season up front alongside Dave Bamber, and scored three league goals (two from the penalty spot).
He held the same position when Eddie Howe left the club prior to Sean Dyche being appointed but this time solely.
