Andy is one of Valley's longest serving players when he retired in November 2008 having signed for Rugby in July 2002 from Shepshed Dynamo, where he had spent 3 years and won Player of the Season awards. 

The never-say-die style defender had a superb first season for Rugby, putting in many a powerful performance and settled down into the squad very well.  A committed and determined player who gives everything to every game.

Andy injured his cruciate ligament and missed the whole of the 2005/6 season and did not return until September 2006 away at Clevedon Town.

Despite finishing the season strongly, more injury problems ruled Andy almost completely out of the 2007/8 season having first broken a wrist in a pre-season friendly at Eastwood Town. The then 29-year-old defender returned to first team action in the last game of the season at home to Bromsgrove.

Andy stepped out of retirement to help out in March 2009 and his appetite has been restored so that he has appearances several times in 09/10.
