Andrew 'Andy' Steven Jackson (born 9 January 1988) is a Scottish born Irish football player who plays for Brechin City in the Scottish League One.
Jackson started his career with St Johnstone. He made his league debut on 14 August 2004, in a 3–1 defeat against Queen of the South at McDiarmid Park. During the 2005–06 season, Jackson was loaned out to Cowdenbeath, with whom he scored four goals in thirteen league appearances, and Forfar Athletic, scoring five goals in thirteen appearances.
Jackson scored his first senior goal for St Johnstone on 5 September 2007 in their 2–0 victory over Ross County in the Scottish Challenge Cup. Jackson was awarded the Young Player of the Month for January 2008 after scoring in three consecutive games (against Raith Rovers, Dunfermline Athletic and Stirling Albion). Jackson missed most of the 2008–09 season with an Achilles tendon injury as St Johnstone won the First Division. In July 2009 he was taken to hospital suffering from a bowel complaint that had first troubled him in April 2008, and also hindered his fitness in 2008–09.
Jackson was released by Saints in summer 2011, and played for Greenock Morton for one season before being released in May 2012. Shortly afterwards he signed a deal with Second Division side Brechin City. Jackson scored on his début for Brechin, in a Challenge Cup tie against Third Division side Rangers. On 15 April 2014, Jackson signed a new one-year contract at Brechin.
