Career
Haran who hails from Julianstown joined St. Patrick's Athletic at the age of 15 and he came through the youth ranks at the Inchicore club before appearing for their senior and A League teams in 2008. He made his senior debut for the club in a League of Ireland Cup 2nd round match against UCD on 21 April 2008. Haran then spent the latter half of the 2008 season on loan to First Division side Monaghan United where he scored 7 goals in 14 league and cup appearances. Andy signed professional terms with St. Pats in January 2009 in time for the new season. Haran's first competitive goal for the Saints arrived during a 2-1 win over Drogheda United on 20 April 2009 at Richmond Park. As the 2009 season progressed Haran fell out of favour with the then Pats manager Jeff Kenna but he re-signed for the 2010 season under new manager Pete Mahon.
Shortly after putting pen to paper for 2010, Haran was loaned out to First Division side Shelbourne. Haran made just one Leinster Senior Cup appearance for Shels before dislocating his shoulder. At the summer transfer window in 2010, Haran departed St. Patrick's Athletic to join Athlone Town where he scored 3 goals in 8 starts.
Andy has signed for Monaghan United for the second time for the 2011 season.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
“He was at a starting point which makes many a man’s career a fine subject for betting, if there were any gentlemen given to that amusement who could appreciate the complicated probabilities of an arduous purpose, with all the possible thwartings and furtherings of circumstance, all the niceties of inward balance, by which a man swings and makes his point or else is carried headlong.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“The 19-year-old Diana ... decided to make her career that of wife. Today that can be a very, very iffy line of work.... And what sometimes happens to the women who pursue it is the best argument imaginable for teaching girls that they should always be able to take care of themselves.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
