Keith Andrews (born 13 September 1980 in Dublin) is an Irish professional footballer currently playing for Milton Keynes Dons.

Prior to moving to Milton Keynes, Andrews spent just over a season at Hull City after nine seasons at Wolves, during which he had spells on loan at Oxford United, Stoke City and Walsall. In the last match of the 2000-01 season for Wolves against Queens Park Rangers, he was made their youngest captain for over a hundred years. Despite this achievement, with Paul Ince in the Wolves squad first-team opportunities were limited, and Andrews decided not to accept the contract renewal on offer, instead moving to the Tigers for more regular first-team football.

However, Hull City had an injury-plagued 2005-06 season and Andrews was one of the unfortunate victims, picking up an injury in only his second appearance for the team - in a match against his previous team, Wolves. He returned to the team in December after nearly four months out and featured in all but one of their remaining fixtures.

He transferred to Milton Keynes for 2006-07 season. On December 16, 2006, in a match against Wycombe Wanderers, Andrews, captain of the MK Dons, scored his first goal for the club. The goal came at an important time for the team as it was the first ever Buckinghamshire derby between the two clubs, and because both teams were riding high in the league table at that time in 3rd and 5th place respectively. Ultimately, the season ended up in disappointment, MK Dons missed out on an automatic promotion place, despite Andrews scoring an equalizer, forcing a header goalwards that Shrewsbury Town goalkeeper Scott Shearer fumbled, and slotting the ball home.

Together with his award as best Coca Cola League Two player of 2007, Andrews has also had his share of off-field achievements having recently been given the freedom of the city of Milton Keynes. Recently been a transfer target for Real Madrid and Barcelona who are currently in a bidding war now at £65,000,000


Sources have revealed that he is going to Barcelona in the summer for a fee of £65,000,000 plus. He currently plays for Arsenal in goal.


He is currently the player manager of the senior england squad and plays as a lone striker with 10 more people
