Club career

Andrich started his career at FV Turbine Potsdam and moved to Hertha BSC in 2003. He played for Hertha's youth teams in the Under 17 Bundesliga and Under 19 Bundesliga. Starting from the 2012–13 season, he played for Hertha's second team in the Regionalliga Nordost, the fourth tier of German football. He was also included in Hertha's first team squad twice during the 2012–13 season, but did not make an appearance. In March 2013, he signed a professional contract until June 2015, [2] but did not make any competitive appearances for the first team.

In February 2015, Andrich moved to 3. Liga side Dynamo Dresden, where he signed a contract until June 2017. [3] He made his debut in professional football on 7 February 2016 in a 1–0 defeat against Rot-Weiß Erfurt. On 19 March 2016, he scored his first goal for Dresden in a 2–2 draw against Hansa Rostock. After only appearing in eight league matches in the 2015–16 season, he left Dresden and moved to 3. Liga rivals SV Wehen Wiesbaden in June 2016. [4] In January 2018, it was announced that Andrich would join 2. Bundesliga team 1. FC Heidenheim for the 2018–19 season. [5] [6] He scored his first goal in the 2. Bundesliga in a 2–1 away win against Arminia Bielefeld on 22 December 2018. [7]

For the 2019–20 season, he moved to newly-promoted Bundesliga side Union Berlin, where he signed a contract until 30 June 2022. [8] He made his debut in Germany's top flight on 18 August 2019 in a 4–0 home defeat against RB Leipzig. He scored his first Bundesliga goal on 7 June 2020 in a 1–1 draw against Schalke 04. In total, he appeared in 59 league matches for Union, scoring six goals. [9]

After two seasons with Union Berlin, Andrich moved to fellow Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen in summer 2021, signing a five-year-contract until 2026. [10] On 13 September 2022, he scored his first Champions League goal in a 2–0 win over Atlético Madrid during the 2022–23 season. [11] In May 2023, Andrich suffered a fracture to his foot, bringing his 2022–23 season to a premature end. [12]

On 27 April 2024, he scored a goal in the 96th minute of stoppage time in a 2–2 draw against VfB Stuttgart, to extend Leverkusen's unbeaten streak in all competitions in their 2023–24 season. [13] A few days later, on 2 May, he scored from outside the penalty area in a 2–0 away win over Roma in the Europa League semi-final first leg. [14] At the end of the 2023–24 season, Andrich won the Bundesliga title and the German Cup with Leverkusen and also reached the Europa League final, in which his team lost 3–0 to Atalanta. [15] On 16 August 2024, he extended his contract with Leverkusen until 2028. [16]

International career

Andrich played for German youth national teams between 2011 and 2013. [17]

In October 2023, he received his first call-up to the German senior national team for two friendly matches against the United States and Mexico. [18] Later that year, on 21 November, he made his international debut in a friendly match against Austria. [19]

Andrich was named in Germany's squad for UEFA Euro 2024. [20] He appeared in all five of Germany's matches at the tournament until their elimination in the quarter-finals against Spain. His potential first international goal against Switzerland in the final group stage match of the tournament was disallowed by VAR, because his teammate Jamal Musiala committed a foul just before he took the shot from outside the box against Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer. [21]

Personal life

Andrich's uncle Frieder was also a footballer who played in the DDR-Oberliga. [22]

Andrich is married since 2019 and has two children with his wife Alicia. [23]
