Andrew Harris (born 17 November 1970) is an English former professional footballer who made 40 appearances in the Football League playing for Birmingham City, Oxford United and Exeter City.[2] [3] He played as a midfielder.
Harris was born in Birmingham. He joined Birmingham City as an apprentice under the YTS scheme, and turned professional two years later.[4] He made his debut on 11 November 1989, substituting for John Frain in a goalless draw at Leyton Orient in the Football League Third Division.[5] In March 1990, he signed on loan for Telford United, and scored once from six appearances in the Football Conference.[6] He went on loan in October 1991 to Oxford United of the Second Division, where he played only once,[7] and the following month was allowed to move to Exeter City.[4] In two and a half years at Exeter, Harris played 38 games in the third tier,[3] scoring one league goal, which came against Stoke City.[8]
In April 1994, he moved into non-league football with Nuneaton Borough of the Southern League Premier Division.[9] He played twice that season, and was a regular in 1994–95, scoring three goals from 31 Southern League Midland Division matches,[10] before moving on to another Midland Division club, Corby Town, ahead of the 1995–96 season.[11] He joined Midland Alliance team Hinckley Athletic in November 1995,[12] but only played twice before returning to the Southern League Midland Division and moving nearer home to Solihull Borough.[13] He rejoined Hinckley Athletic late in 1996, but a knee injury disrupted his return.[14] [15]
In July 1998, Peter Frain was appointed manager of Knowle Town with Harris as his assistant and player.[16] [17] He left for Paget Rangers of the Southern League Western Division at the end of the season.[18]
