Biography:
Andy Kirk, son of ex-long-serving Distillery manager Paul, has proven a reliable goalscorer throughout his career. A product of the successful Glentoran youth set-up of the late-1990s that also produced Stuart Elliott, Kirk made a £50,000 move to Hearts in February 1999, shortly before his twentieth birthday. Although his firstteam appearances were limited by injuries he proved a success when available, regularly hitting double figures in the goalscoring charts. Hearts parilous financial situation saw him released when his contract expired in 2004.
More to follow.
After four years out of the international reckoning, Kirk was recalled to the Northern Ireland squad for a World Cup Qualifier against the Czech Republic in October 2009. He came on as a late substitute in a 0-0 draw.
Kirk was one of eight players to be made redundant by Dunfermline in March 2013 as the club was on the brink of financial meltdown.
