Andy Lyons joined Blackpool in January 2023 with a deal completed in August 2022 for the player to arrive following the end of the Irish league season.

The defender can play in either full-back position and has also played as a wing-back both on the left and right side. A league winner with Shamrock Rovers, Lyons was also awarded the PFAI Young Player of the Year award.

Following a three-year spell with Bohemians, Lyons made the switch to Rovers at the start of the 2022 campaign where he scored six league goals during a stellar season.An Ireland U21 international, Lyons has established himself as one of the bright future talents of his country. 

In his first six months with the Seasiders the full-back scored four times in 17 Championship games.  In February 2024 the defender picked up an ACL injury away at Leyton Orient, which saw him on the sidelines for 431 days, with Lyons making his first appearance of the 2024/25 season on the final day against Bristol Rovers.
