Peterborough United

Andrew developed through the youth system at Peterborough United. Injuries to Scott Griffiths and Jamie Day saw Andrew play the final two games of Peterborough's 2009–10 season. 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]

On 9 March 2012, Andrew signed for Conference Premier side Mansfield Town on an emergency loan until the end of the season. [8]

On 13 September 2012, he joined Football Conference side Cambridge United on an initial one-month loan.

[10] In January 2013, Cheltenham agreed to terminate his contract and signed for Gloucester City on a permanent basis until the end of the season. [11]

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]

Grimsby Town

On 8 June 2016, Andrew signed for League Two side Grimsby Town on a one-year contract. [27] [28] He made his debut on 6 August 2016 in the opening game of the 2016–17 season in Grimsby's 2–0 home victory against Morecambe. [29]

Doncaster Rovers

On 1 June 2017 Andrew signed by former manager Darren Ferguson at Doncaster Rovers on a two-year deal. [30]

Return to Fleetwood Town

He was offered a new contract by Doncaster at the end of the 2018–19 season [31] but he instead decided to rejoin Fleetwood Town on a three-year deal. [32] Andrew was offered a new long-term deal by the club at the end of the 2021–22 season. [33]
