Stockport sign Andrew on short-term contract
The 34-year-old was released by Cambridge United at the end of his contract earlier this summer and has joined Dave Challinor's squad after impressing the manager as a triallist in a pre-season friendly with Salford City.
Andrew has played 570 games in a 17-year career, his longest stay being four seasons at Fleetwood Town from 2019 to 2023 - his second spell at Highbury.
Stockport are short of left-back cover after Ibou Touray joined Bradford and Ryan Rydel departed for Exeter on loan, while the only incoming replacement so far has been Tayo Edun, who is facing a "prolonged spell" out with injury.
Challinor told the club website: "He comes at an important time, and we feel his experience, leadership and adaptability of playing in different positions at this level will be really important over this period.
"The short-term nature of the deal suits everyone at present and we'll assess things over the period."

Chelsea Are Hoping To Land This Bundesliga Playmaker: What Will He Add To Maresca's Side?
In a recent report, Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol mentioned that Chelsea are hoping to land Red Bull Leipzig playmaker Xavi Simons this summer. It is understood that the Blues are in talks to secure the services of the Dutch attacker this off-season. Simons' Good Record In German Football Last Season Simons enjoyed a decent run of form at the German club in the previous campaign. The Dutch sensation found the back of the net 11 times and earned eight assists in 33 matches for RB Leipzig last season across various competitions. The 22-year-old deserves some credit for averaging 2.09 shots per 90 minutes in the Bundesliga. He kept 46% of his attempts on target. Simons was even tidy when distributing possession in the opponent's half, as evidenced by his pass completion rate of 78.6% in the German top tier (stats via His current contract at the German club will run out in the summer of 2027. Thus, Chelsea would have to make a good offer if they want to lure Simons to Stamford Bridge this off-season. LEIPZIG, GERMANY – APRIL 05: Xavi Simons of RB Leipzig looks on during the Bundesliga match between RB Leipzig and TSG 1899 Hoffenheim at Red Bull Arena on April 05, 2025 in Leipzig, Germany. (Photo by) What Will Simons Add To Chelsea Boss Enzo Maresca's Side? Simons is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make a few dangerous runs with it in and around the opponent's penalty area. He can shoot the ball with venom from long range and has got the eye to play some decisive passes in the final third. The Dutch talent is primarily an attacking midfielder but can also fill in as a wide player if told to do so by his manager. However, only time will tell whether he can handle the physical side and high intensity of the Premier League. Simons would add more quality and dynamism to Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca's frontline. He has what it takes to fight for a regular first-team spot at the West London club in the coming seasons. At 22, Simons has the potential to be a world-class player in his position someday. Therefore, it makes sense for the Blues to go all out to bring him on board in this transfer window. However, Maresca has to give him some time before he can get the best out of the talented attacker at Stamford Bridge.
