Joshua Matthew Andrews (born 16 October 2001) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for EFL League Two club Gillingham.
[5] According to his club profile at under-23 level, he "cites his finishing, hold-up play and runs in behind as his main attributes and is looking to make improvements in his heading.
"[2] Birmingham City made him an offer of professional terms in April 2020, and in July he signed a two-year contract with an option for a third year.
[6][7] In November, coach Steve Spooner highlighted his having "grown into his body", so that the 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) youth had become a large man with increasing ability to use his physicality, as well as "finding and working space for himself inside the box".
[17] He made his debut a week later, replacing the injured Jake Beesley after 24 minutes of a 2–1 defeat at home to Forest Green Rovers.
[18] Andrews started the next match, away to previously unbeaten Northampton Town; after 73 minutes, he beat the offside trap to score his first senior goal and help his side secure their first win of the season.
[29][30] He played the whole of the opening fixture, a 3–0 win at home to Newport County, and in the EFL Cup against Bradford City, he tied the scores with a powerful header shortly after coming on as a second-half substitute, but Stanley lost the match on penalties.
