Andy Beattie (born 6 September 1978) is an English rugby union footballer. He is a back row forward for Bath.
Beattie was educated at The Mall School, an independent school in Twickenham and at the independent Hampton School, in Middlesex, and at Exeter University, where he gained a degree in Sports Science. In 1997 he was a member of one of England's finest 18 Group sides, together with such players as Iain Balshaw, Mike Tindall, Jonny Wilkinson, Andrew Sheridan and Steve Borthwick.[2] While at Exeter University, between 1997 and 2001, he played for Exeter RFC.[3] After graduating from Exeter University he joined Bath.
Beattie has, however, suffered significant injury problems throughout his time at the Recreation Ground and broke his leg while playing for England A against France A on his home ground in early 2005.[4]
He regained full fitness during the summer of 2005 before returning to Bath colours in the autumn of that year.
Beattie signed a new two year contract with Bath in early 2009.[5]
He is a fan of Arsenal FC.
