About Andy Gomarsall

Andrew Charles Thomas Gomarsall MBE (born 24 July 1974, in Durham) is an English former rugby union player who played at scrum-half for Leeds Carnegie and England. He previously played for Gloucester Rugby, Bedford and Wasps. Until May 2006 he was contracted to Worcester Warriors for three seasons from 2005, but was released after one year of a three-year contract – an action which is still subject to potential legal action by Gomarsall. He was released by Harlequins F.C in 2009 and joined Leeds Carnegie for the 2009–2010 season to continue Guinness Premiership rugby. In 2008, Gomarsall started the first two Six Nations games before being dropped for the third against France.
