Wayne Michael Hill Andrews (born 25 November 1977) is an English former footballer who played as a forward in the Football League for a number of clubs, most notably for Watford, Oldham Athletic, Colchester United, Crystal Palace, Coventry City and Luton Town, and also appeared for several clubs on loan. He is of Barbadian descent.
Born in Paddington, London, Andrews began his career at Watford, where he made his debut as a substitute in a 2–1 win against Bournemouth on 17 August 1996. He made his first league start 10 days later in a 2–0 defeat to Plymouth Argyle. He scored his first goal for Watford in a 2–0 win over Walsall on 3 September 1996 in a League Cup tie, and scored his first league goal in a 3–2 win over Notts County one week later. His first season ended having scored five goals in 29 appearances in all competitions.
After making two league and two cup appearances for the Hornets in the 1997–98 season, Andrews suffered a broken ankle, leaving him out of action for seven months.
On his return from injury, Andrews was loaned out to both Cambridge United and Peterborough United in the 1998–99 season. He made only two appearances for Cambridge in October 1998, before joining Peterborough in February 1999. He made an immediate impact for the Posh, scoring four goals in a 5–2 victory over Barnet on his debut. He went on to make ten appearances for Peterborough, scoring only once more during his spell.
