Andrew Davey (born 29 November 1991) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer who plays as a second-row forward for the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles in the NRL.

He previously played for the Parramatta Eels in the National Rugby League.

Background[]

Born in Maryborough, Queensland, Davey played his junior rugby league for the Emerald Cowboys.

Playing career[]

In 2016, Davey joined the Mackay Cutters in the Queensland Cup on a train-and-trial deal, later earning a full-time contract with the club. That season, he won the club's Rookie of the Year award.[2] In 2017, he co-captained the Cutters alongside Setaimata Sa.[3]

In 2018, Davey signed with the Townsville Blackhawks.[4] In 2019, Davey joined the Parramatta Eels NRL squad. He spent the season with their New South Wales Cup feeder club, Wentworthville, playing in their Grand Final loss to Newtown.[5][6]

2020[]

In round 10 of the 2020 NRL season, Davey made his first grade debut for Parramatta against the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles. In his second NRL appearance, Davey played 51 minutes off the bench replacing Ryan Matterson who was ruled out through HIA in Parramatta's 26-16 win over the Wests Tigers.[7] At 28 years and 233 days old, he became the fourth-oldest debutant in the NRL era (since 1998) after Brian Carney, Darren Nicholls, and Darren Porter.[8]

On 12 October, Davey signed a two-year deal to join Manly-Warringah.

2021[]

Davey made his club debut for Manly in round 1 of the 2021 NRL season against the Sydney Roosters at the SCG.[9]

After Manly's round 2 loss against South Sydney, it was revealed that Davey had suffered a season ending knee injury.[10]
