22 year old Lancaster born player that signed on a two year contract for the Shakers on 06 July 2010, on a free transfer from Premiership neighbours Blackburn Rovers.Andy had progressed through the youth setup at Ewood Park.His debut for their reserves side came against Manchester United in April 2007, though injuries hampered any further progress that season.He eventually made his first team debut for Rovers in 2008 in the Carling Cup against Sunderland in November 2008, and then followed that up with an FA Cup appearance, again against Sunderland, the following January.Loaned out to Gateshead in November 2009, where he made just six appearances, he returned to Ewood Park in January 2010.Just three weeks later though he was out on loan again, this time to near neighbours Rochdale to help them in their successful promotion push.

Andy spent the rest of the season at Spotland, and played here at Gigg Lane in the televised game against Rochdale on 01 February, though came off the bench in the last 15 minutes.His six month loan spell brought a total of seven appearances, including four from the bench.Described by Blackburn Rovers as a winger who can operate on both flanks and one that can be usually found on the right hand side, he uses trickery and pace to beat players in the final third of the pitch.Andy was looking forward to a trial with Conference side York City with a view to a season long loan with the Minstermen, however, one call from the Shakers was enough to divert his attentions and a two year deal with Bury.Andy is a player that can excite many with his flare on the ball and his first season for Bury brought 45 appearances in all competitions as well as three goals.
