Andrey Galabinov (Bulgarian: Андрей Гълъбинов; born 27 November 1988 in Sofia) is a Bulgarian footballer who currently plays for Serie B side Novara and the Bulgarian national team. He plays as a striker.
Andrey was born in Sofia to Assen Galabinov and Polina Filipova. His father is a former national volleyball team player and his mother also played the sport. Andrey's grandfather Yordan Filipov formerly played as a goalkeeper for CSKA Sofia and the Bulgarian national football team. His other grandfather was a volleyball player and coach.
Galabinov began his football career with CSKA Sofia. In 2004 he moved to Cyprus with his family and joined AC Omonia youth academy. A year later, his father had been appointed as a coach of Pallavolo Modena and Andrey moved to Italy. In 2006 he signed with Castellarano.
In July 2007, Galabinov joined Bologna but could not break his way into the first team and went out on loan to Giulianova, and then to Giacomense.
On 1 February 2011, Galabinov signed with Livorno on a four-and-a-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee. He made his Serie B debut on 7 February, in a 0–1 home loss against Vicenza. He appeared in only three league games to the end of the season. In an attempt to earn some playing time, Galabinov spent the 2011–12 season on loan in the Serie C1, where he played for Sorrento and Bassano.
