Andy Lynch (born 20 October 1979 in England) is an English rugby league player who currently plays for the Bradford Bulls. His position of choice is as a prop. Andy established himself as one of the leading young prop forwards in 2003 and deservedly won a place in Super League's 'Dream Team'. Andy uses his size to good effect and takes a lot of stopping, and if he breaks into space he has quite a deceptive turn of pace. It was no surprise when he won the Tigers 2003 Player of the Year award. Andy won a number of club awards in 2006 for his performances for the Bradford Bulls, these included; Supporters' Player of the Year, Players' Player of the Year, BISA Player of the Year and Best Forward of the Year.
