Andy Iro Biography

Andy Iro is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on November 26, 1984 in Liverpool, Liverpool, United Kingdom. Iro was born on 26 November 1984 in Liverpool, England. His parents, Paul and Rose, both immigrated from Nigeria, eventually settling in the Toxteth area of Liverpool. He played youth football for Kingsley United. He attended St. Edwards, where he competed on the school’s soccer, rugby, and track teams. He trialed with Everton, but ultimately proved unsuccessful.

Despite being thought of as the possible top pick, Iro was drafted sixth overall in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft by Columbus Crew after coach Sigi Schmid was convinced Iro would remain in the United States to play. Iro made his professional debut on 28 March 2008, coming on as an 89th-minute substitute in the Crew’s first game of the 2008 Major League Soccer season against Toronto FC. He would score his first MLS goal on 6 September 2008 against New England Revolution, heading in a Guillermo Barros Schelotto free kick. Iro and the Crew would win both the 2008 Supporters’ Shield and MLS Cup 2008.

Iro began to take more of a leadership role in the Crew’s 2010 Major League Soccer season and 2011 Major League Soccer season, which saw the club compete in the 2009–10 CONCACAF Champions League with Iro wearing the captain’s armband on occasion. During his time with the club, Iro made 58 league appearances and scored five goals, but had grown disgruntled during the 2011 preseason and his contract was expiring at the conclusion of the season.

With Iro’s inexplicably falling out of favor in addition to his looming contract situation, Columbus Crew traded him along with teammate Léandre Griffit in July 2011 to Toronto FC for Tony Tchani. He made his debut on 20 July 2011 against FC Dallas. He would appear for Toronto in 13 league games in addition to work in the 2011–12 CONCACAF Champions League. At the end of the season, Iro and Toronto could not agree on a new contract and he left the club.

Iro played college soccer for the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos men’s soccer team, where he was named the Most Outstanding Player (Defensive) for the 2006 NCAA Division I Men’s Soccer Championship en route to winning the national championship. He was drafted by Major League Soccer side Columbus Crew with the sixth overall pick in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft. He spent four seasons in MLS, joining Toronto FC for part of his last season, before playing in England from 2012 to 2013 with Stevenage F.C. and Barnet F.C..
