Andrea Orlandi Stabilin (born 3 August 1984) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Italian club Novara Calcio as a left winger or an attacking midfielder.
After playing as a youth with Alavés, he went to spend the vast majority of his professional career in the United Kingdom, starting out at Swansea City in 2007.
Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Orlandi started his senior career with Deportivo Alavés, only managing two appearances for the first team during his two-year spell, with the Basque in Segunda División. In the 2005 summer he was loaned to hometown side FC Barcelona, also being almost exclusively associated with the reserves.
On 20 May 2006, as Barça was already crowned La Liga champions, Orlandi made his first – and only – league appearance for the Catalans' main squad, pitching in at left back in a 1–3 away loss against Athletic Bilbao. He also made an appearance in the club's Copa Catalunya win against RCD Espanyol in August 2003, under manager Frank Rijkaard.
In late September 2007, after an unsuccessful trial with Aris Thessaloniki FC, free agent Orlandi signed for Swansea City, moving to the Liberty Stadium on a one-year deal as the club was managed by countryman Roberto Martínez. In July 2010 he was linked to fellow Football League Championship side Leicester City, who had just appointed former Swans boss Paulo Sousa as their new manager, but nothing came of it, and the player renewed his link for a further two years, having done the same the year before.
