Andrew "Andy" Preece (born 27 March 1967) is an English football manager and former professional footballer who was the Director of Football at Welsh Premier League club Airbus UK Broughton Who left by mutual consent on the 11th August 2016
As a player he was a forward from 1986 until 2012, however since 1999 he had mixed his playing duties with various coaching and management positions. He notably played in the Premier League for Crystal Palace, and in the Football League for Northampton Town, Wrexham, , Blackpool and Bury. He became player-manager of Bury in 1999, also going on to manage Worcester City and Northwich Victoria.
Born in Evesham, Worcestershire, Preece began his career as a junior with Worcester City, making his debut in the Conference aged 16. He subsequently played for Evesham United before joining Northampton Town in August 1988. He made just one appearance, as a substitute, before being released at the end of the following season.
In July 1989 he rejoined Worcester City and in March 1990 signed for Wrexham. In December 1991 he joined for a fee of £10,000. He impressed enough (including scoring the winning goal in a giant-killing feat against Queens Park Rangers in the FA Cup) that he signed for Crystal Palace in June 1994, as strike partner to Chris Armstrong, for a fee of £350,000.
