BIO:
Andy has quickly developed into one of New Zealand’s best midfielders. He made his international debut in front of his home crowd in Tauranga against the Netherlands in January 2007 and has been a consistent performer ever since.
Andy is a specialist right half and is a constant handful for opposition teams due to his speed and skilful passing game. He has developed his drag flick into a deadly weapon that has made him the team’s best option come penalty corner time.
Andy works for Fonterra in Auckland, and in his spare time he loves catching some waves back in the Bay of Plenty.
