Andrea Cassar (born 19 December 1992) is a Maltese professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Maltese Premier League club Tarxien Rainbows. [3]
Cassar began his career with his hometown club Ħamrun Spartans in 2009 but did not make his debut until 2010. [4] [1] He also spent the end of the 2011–12 season on loan with Birkirkara.[ citation needed ]
He was approached to match fix a match against Hibernians in February 2013 but he declined twice before he reported the match fixing. [2] In 2014, he was allowed to leave on loan until his contract expired.
Cassar joined Pembroke Athleta on a one-year loan deal valid until 2015 and after his contract with Ħamrun Spartans expired, he joined Tarxien Rainbows. [4] He made 86 appearances for the club between 2015 and 2019. [3]
He joined Floriana in July 2019 on a one-year contract [4] but was sidelined for most of the 2019–20 season before he signed a contract extension until 2021; he left Floriana upon the expiry of his contract in May 2021 after a series of injuries limited his playing time. [5]
He joined Marsa in July 2021, [6] and then he joined Sirens in July 2022. [7] He left Sirens in June 2025.
He rejoined Tarxien Rainbows in June 2025 after they won promotion back to the Maltese Premier League but he suffered a groin injury on the second matchday. [3] [ citation needed ]
Cassar played for the Malta U19 and U21 teams [1] but as a result of the match fixing, he was no longer called up to the U21 team by February 2013. [2]
