Attacking midfielder Niall McAndrew joined Derby County Under-18s as a first-year scholar in the summer of 2023, before penning professional terms in 2024.

McAndrew has been with the Rams since Under-9s level and holds a dual nationality, meaning he is eligible for England and the Republic of Ireland.

The teenager had a standout 2023/24 season with the young Rams, featuring 25 times in all competitions with seven of those appearances being for the Under-21s. He scored 11 goals and provided six assists.

He signed his first professional contract ahead of the 2024/25 season and gained match time for the Under-18s and Under-21s across various competitions, although he missed most of the second half of the campaign owing to injury.

He has represented Ireland at youth level and was a regular for their Under-17s across the 2023/24 campaign.
