The 30-year-old made 38 appearances for the Royals this season, scoring a goal and providing two assists in what has been a remarkable campaign for the Ghanaian defender.

In what has been a mixed year for Andy, the marauding right-back was part of Ghana's team that performed abysmally at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, exiting at the group stages.

But Andy and his Black Stars teammates managed to redeem themselves in grand style when he helped the West African nation qualify for the 2022 World Cup at the expense of Nigeria.
