Andrew Vincent is a New Zealand former professional rugby league footballer who played for the North Sydney Bears.

Playing career

A junior in the Canterbury Rugby League competition, Vincent played for the Junior Kiwis in 1985 and 1986.[2] He was selected for the New Zealand Māori squad at the 1986 Pacific Cup, but had to pull out due to injury.[3] He spent the 1988 NSWRL season in Sydney with the North Sydney Bears, playing in one first grade match.

He then returned to New Zealand and became a regular in the Canterbury side. In 1994, with the launch of the Lion Red Cup, Vincent joined the Christchurch City Shiners.[4]
