Following City’s relegation a couple of weeks back Andy decided to look for a new challenge and Jim Weir was quick to enter initially into discussions with the player, prior to securing his signature on a two year contract.

It is therefore a case of welcome back to Station Park as far as Andy is concerned.

Andy has returned to Glebe Park on a temporary transfer until the end of the current season.
