Andy Crosby

Andrew Keith "Andy" Crosby (born 3 March 1973) is an English assistant manager who played as a defender. He joined Reading in March 2013 as Nigel Adkins' assistant manager, having previously worked under him at Southampton and Scunthorpe United.

Career

Crosby was born in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. He began his football career as a trainee with Leeds United but was released to Doncaster Rovers after failing to break through. During his time at Leeds United, Andy made a name for himself as being a typical industrious English defender. He wasn't there long and attracted the attention of Darlington, where he spent five years, making 215 appearances in all competitions and scoring five goals. He wasn't going to last there and soon his performances dropped. He joined Chester City and in a bid to restore his reputation, Crosby scored five times in 80 appearances before moving onto Brighton & Hove Albion for a fee of £10,000. During his four-year stay, Crosby helped Brighton up into Division One but was released as part of a wage budget rearrangement. He then joined Oxford United where he played more than 100 league games before moving on to Scunthorpe United in 2004.
