Andrew Waterworth (born 11 April 1986) is a former footballer from Northern Ireland who was most recently the interim manager of the Northern Ireland women's national team.
Waterworth joined Hamilton from Lisburn Distillery in January 2008 for a fee of £20,000.[1] He made his debut against Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup in February.[2]
He scored his first goal for Hamilton against Dundee in April 2008,[3] but returned to Northern Ireland having made only 10 appearances during eight months in Scotland.[4]
After leaving Hamilton Accies, Waterworth joined Irish Premiership side Glentoran. During his time with the East Belfast side, he won winners medals in both the Irish Premiership[4] and Irish Cup.[5]
On 9 May 2013, Glentoran announced on their website that Waterworth would not be signing a new contract.[6]
In May 2013, Linfield confirmed that they had signed Waterworth on a two-year contract.[7] On his Linfield debut, Waterworth broke a bone in his leg which side-lined the striker for two months. However, he eventually made his league debut for Linfield on 14 September 2013, scoring a hat-trick in a 4–1 win against Ballymena United at Windsor Park, and went on to score 11 goals in his first eleven league appearances to put his side top the table.[8] His first trophy with the Blues arrived in the form of the 2013–14 County Antrim Shield, after a penalty shoot-out victory over Crusaders in the final.[9]
On 30 May 2021, it was announced that Waterworth, alongside team-mates Mark Haughey and Mark Stafford, had signed for Glenavon on the expiry of their contracts at Linfield. Waterworth made his Glenavon debut coming on as a sub in a 1–1 draw with Portadown, and scored his first goals for the club a week later, notching a brace in a 6–1 victory over Warrenpoint Town.
It was announced on 2 July 2022 that Waterworth had retired from football.
Waterworth was called up to the Northern Ireland under-21 side in January 2008.[10] In total he won seven under-21 caps and scored two goals.[11]
On 16 March 2023, it was announced Waterworth would take charge of the Northern Ireland women's team on an interim basis.[12] Waterworth managed the team for a 4-1 defeat against Wales on 6 April 2023.[13]
