Keith Andrews

Keith Andrews broke into the Wolves first team in the 1999/2000 season but after establishing himself in the second half of the following campaign the Irishman has only played a bit part role in the first team since. He made 10 appearances last season, most of which were as a substitute, and has never scored for the Midlands club.

The Dublin born lad arrived at Molineux in 1996 and served his apprenticeship before signing full professional terms. An Irish U-18 international made his full first team debut at the end of 2000 after a successful loan spell at Oxford.

Such was the impression he made, he held down his place in the side for the for the rest of the campaign, missing only one game, and was made captain for the last match of the 2000/01 season.

However, he failed to make the same kind of impact over the following campaigns, spending a lot of time out on loan. In 2005, at the end of his contract, he moved to Hull City, but his season there was disrupted by injury before he joined MK Dons in 2006.

He went on to become club captain and under Paul Ince in 2007/08, he helped the Dons win promotion to League One, winning the League Two Player of the Year Award.

Ince left to join Blackburn Rovers at the end of the season and took Andrews with him in August 2008. Despite Ince's departure from the club midway through the season, Andrews had a successful first campaign at Ewood Park, quickly becoming a first-team regular in midfield.
