Andrew Forsyth (born 9 September 1990) is an English rugby union footballer, from Clayton West, Huddersfield, United Kingdom.[1] He attended Queen Elizabeth Grammar School Wakefield. He plays as both a centre and fullback. He has represented England at both Under-16, Under-18 and Under-20 level and played for Leicester Tigers as part of their rugby academy squad. He is one of the brightest young rugby talents in the United Kingdom, despite being diabetic.[citation needed]

Forsyth made his first team debut for Tigers from the bench against Northampton Saints in October 2009. He started at centre in the game against South Africa in November 2009.

After stints at Sale and Yorkshire Carnegie, Forsyth signed for Coventry. The Championship club confirmed he would be loaned to Leicester as cover during the 2019 Rugby World Cup.[2]
