Andrews had a successful career with Newport, and was part of the team during the 'invincible' season of 1922/23. He was also selected to represent the Newport team to face two touring international teams, the
1924 New Zealand All Blacks, and the 1926 Maoris. In the match against New Zealand, Andrews scored a
try, Newport's only points in a one-sided defeat by the tourists. Andrews gained his first international cap, when he was selected to play for
Rowe Harding's Wales, against England on 16 January 1926. Andrews scored a try on his début which resulted in a Welsh draw after England's
Wavell Wakefield also scored a try. Andrews was selected for the next match in the
1926 Five Nations Championship, this time facing Scotland. Wales lost this match and Andrews was not selected for the final two games of the tournament against Ireland and France. The next season Andrews was back, but in the first game against England, Wales lost 11-9, though Andrews scored his second international try during the game. His next match was as part of
Ossie Male's team that beat France, and Andrews scored his final international try. His next cap was his last, losing to Ireland at
Lansdowne Road in Dublin. In 1927 Andrews switched from rugby union to rugby league. He 'Went North' for £600 to join Leeds Rugby League and prevented future selection for the Welsh union team as he was then deemed a professional player. George Andrews made his début for
Leeds against
York at
Headingley Stadium on Wednesday 6 April 1927. ==International matches played==
