Andrew Ronald Edward Surman (born 20 August 1986) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Premier League club Bournemouth. He spent the first five years of his career with Southampton where he played more than 100 games and has also played for Wolverhampton Wanderers and had a spell on loan at Walsall.
Surman was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, where his parents had moved to from Britain, whilst his father worked for an insurance company. His parents returned to Southampton in 1995, and he joined Tyro League club Hedge End Rangers, where he was spotted by Southampton scouts and invited to join the Saints academy. He attended St. Mary's College in Bitterne and captained the football team.
He was the youngest player ever to play for the Saints Reserves until Theo Walcott took his record. He scored on his league debut when on loan to Walsall during the 2004–05 season, and, when he rejoined the Saints at the beginning of the 2005–06 season, he performed well on their pre-season tour of Scotland. He then enjoyed a successful loan spell with Bournemouth between August 2005 and January 2006, playing in every league game for the team, and scoring six goals. He might have figured in Southampton's FA Cup tie against MK Dons, but was cup-tied having played earlier in the season for Bournemouth against Tamworth.
He made his full team debut for Southampton on 25 January 2006 under new manager George Burley at home to Crystal Palace, and in the next league game scored his first Southampton goal in a 2–1 defeat against Plymouth Argyle. On 17 February 2007, he scored a hat-trick (two strikes from outside the penalty box and a penalty) in the 5–2 victory over Barnsley.
