Andrew Farrell (born April 2, 1992) is an American soccer player who plays as a defender for the New England Revolution of Major League Soccer. He played collegiate soccer at the University of Louisville, where he was an All-American, and had enhanced his draft status with his performance at the MLS Combine.
Farrell was born in Louisville, but was raised in Peru from ages of five to fifteen, where his adoptive parents were Presbyterian missionaries. He played there for the Esther Grande de Bentín (EGB) Academy and attended Colegio Franklin Delano Roosevelt, The American School of Lima. He later moved back to Louisville and finished high school at Atherton High School.
Farrell moved to Louisville from Peru before his sophomore year in high school. That year, he began playing for United 1996 FC (based in Louisville), as well as Atherton High School. Soon after, Andrew made a name for himself as one of Kentucky's most talented youth players. Near the end of high school, Farrell accepted a soccer scholarship to the University of Louisville.
As a freshman at Louisville, Farrell started 5 games and appeared in 20 for the Cardinals being only one of two freshmen to break into the starting lineup. As a junior, he started in all 23 games for the Cardinals as a midfielder before moving back as a defender for the final nine games of the season.
