He joined the MCC Young Cricketers in 2005, and remained playing for them until the summer of 2007. Andy was spotted by Somerset when he played against them for Gloucestershire at Taunton Vale Sports Club in a three-day game back in May.

As a result of that game he joined the club for an extended period last summer and has been awarded a contract by Somerset for 2008.
