Andrew Harry Teague (born 5 February 1986) is an English professional footballer who plays for Nelson as a central defender.
Career
Born in Preston, Teague began his career with Macclesfield Town.[1][2][3] He suffered a broken leg on 25 November 2006, after colliding with teammate Jonny Brain (who also broke his leg) in a game against Stockport County and was ruled out for the rest of the season.[4][5]
He spent loan spells with Tamworth and Hyde United,[6][3] before he was released by Macclefield in the summer of 2008.[3]
He spent some time with Leigh Genesis,[7][8] before moving to Lancaster City in January 2009, where he became club captain.[3] He moved to Chorley in January 2011, making 390 appearances for the club,[3] also becoming club captain.[9][10] He won the Lancashire FA Challenge Trophy in 2015.[11]
He returned to Lancaster City in June 2020.[12][13] After serving as captain and caretaker manager at Lancaster,[14] Teague moved to Clitheroe in January 2024.[15][16]
In June 2024, Teague dropped down a level to join North West Counties Football League Premier Division side Ramsbottom United as a player and assistant manager to Steve Wilkes.[17] He stated that it "was a decision that took a lot of thought as there were offers in from higher up the pyramid".[17] He was a regular in his first season at the club making 34 starts as Ramsbottom finished in 3rd, losing out in the play-offs semi-final to Padiham.[18] In June 2025, he announced that he would be staying for a further year at Ramsbottom.[19] He moved to Nelson, making his debut in April 2026.[20]
