He made his debut in a 1–0 defeat at home to Blackpool. [4] He continued at left-back for the final game of the season away to Plymouth Argyle which ended in a 2–1 win for Peterborough. [5]

Andrew was not offered a new contract at London Road and therefore left the club.

Cheltenham Town

In June 2010 Andrew signed a two-year contract at Cheltenham Town. [6] After his first season at Whaddon Road he was rewarded with a one-year contract extension after missing just three league games in the whole season. [7]

Macclesfield Town

After a successful trial with the club, Andrew signed for Conference Premier side Macclesfield Town in July 2013 on a short-term contract. [12] [13] On 7 December 2013, in the second round of the FA Cup, he scored the opening goal in the 3–2 victory against Conference North side Brackley Town; Danny Whitaker fed Andrew, he surged into the box and thundered a left footed low drive from an acute angle into the bottom right corner. [14]

He extended his contract in December 2013 at Moss Rose until the end of the 2013–14 season. [15] On 26 December 2013, Andrew scored the second goal on 29 minutes in the 3–0 win over Hyde; a free-kick, which curled low around the wall and into the bottom left corner for his second goal in four games. [16] Two days later he scored the decisive goal 7 minutes from time in the 3–2 away victory at Grimsby; a free-kick, which curled into the top right corner which gave the goalkeeper McKeown no chance. [17] On 14 February 2014, Andrew scored a 38th-minute equaliser in the 2–1 home defeat to Luton Town; moving into the centre of the field, he let fly from 20 yards with a left footed shot from outside the box into the bottom right corner. [18]

Andrew is the only player in the squad to have played in every senior game of that season. [15]

Fleetwood Town

On 29 May 2014, Andrew joined newly promoted League One side Fleetwood Town for an undisclosed fee. [19] He managed to break into the first team, however he suffered a knee ligament injury on boxing day 2014 in the 2–0 away defeat against Bradford. [20] [21] He spent the next five months on the sidelines, he made his comeback on the final day of the 2014–15 season in Fleetwood's 2–1 victory at Port Vale. [22]

Andrew started the 2015–16 campaign as first choice left-back, [23] but he picked up a thigh injury in the 5–1 defeat at Gillingham in September. [24] He only featured again eight months later in Fleetwood's final 2–0 home win against Crewe. [25]

Andrew was released at the end of the 2015–16 season. [26]
