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.^[10][11] 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.^[12]

He extended his contract in December 2013 at Moss Rose until the end of the 2013–14 season.^[13] 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.^[14] 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.^[15] 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.^[16]

Andrew is the only player in the squad to have played in every senior game of that season.^[13]

Fleetwood Town

On 29 May 2014, Andrew joined newly promoted League One side Fleetwood Town for an undisclosed fee.^[17] 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.^[18][19] 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.^[20]

Andrew started the 2015–16 campaign as first choice left-back,^[21] but he picked up a thigh injury in the 5–1 defeat at Gillingham in September.^[22] He only featured again eight months later in Fleetwood’s final 2–0 home win against Crewe.^[23]
