Andrew Symonds (born July 6, 1974) is a Canadian curler from St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.[2] He currently skips his own team on the World Curling Tour.
In 2011, Symonds competed in his first Brier curling championship as an alternate for the Brad Gushue rink in London, Ontario.[3] They finished first in the round robin with a record of 9–2 before losing to Glenn Howard in the semi-finals to end the tournament with a third-place finish.
In 2019, Symonds qualified for his first Brier as a skip by winning the 2019 Newfoundland and Labrador Tankard against the Rick Rowsell rink.[4] At the Brier, the Symonds rink went winless with a final record of 0–7.
In 2024, Symonds appeared again at the Montana's Brier. He defeated the Greg Smith rink in the 2024 Newfoundland and Labrador Tankard to qualify.[5] This qualification also made history as Symonds took lead Alex Smith to the Brier, who set the record for longest time in between Brier appearances.[6] Symonds went 2–6 at the Brier.
