Career

Early career

André was an unused substitute for Championnat National 3 side Schiltigheim seven times during the 2014-2015 season.[1] He then went to have a spell with the Nike Academy.[2]

Bristol Rovers

On July 2, 2017, Andre was handed a trial at League One club Bristol Rovers. After a successful trial period with the club, Andre was signed by Rovers.[3]

Following a broken hand from first choice goalkeeper Adam Smith, Sam Slocombe went in goal with Andre taking his place on the bench for the first time against Bury.[4] Andre remained on the bench and on 9 September 2017, starting goalkeeper Slocombe saw red for a professional foul in the 60th minute against Walsall with the teams tied at 1–1. Andre came on, saving the resultant free kick, before producing a number of saves as Rovers scored in the 87' minute, winning 2–1.[5]

On the 23 November 2017 Andre joined Paulton Rovers on a one-month loan.[6] On 31 January 2018, he moved out on loan again, this time joining Tiverton Town on a one-month loan deal.[7]

International career

On 1 October 2018, André was called up to the Morocco under-23 squad for their friendlies against Algeria and Senegal.[8]
