John Andrew (born 6 May 1993) is an Irish professional rugby union player who currently plays for Ulster as a hooker.[1]

Born in Ballymena, he came through the Ulster development system and made his debut in the senior side in September 2015 against Ospreys. He further cemented his place in the squad with strong displays for the Ulster ‘A’ side.[2]

Andrew’s form at the end of 2018 as well as a minor injury saw him fall out of favour in the first team. He has slowly made his way back to contention for a place on the bench.

He is also known for his acting turn in the 2018/19 season online promo for Liam Connolly freight which featured the first recorded instance of his now trade mark finger point, short delay then exclamation of “Forward”!
