Welland Soccer Club

We are pleased to introduce to you Andrew Currie, Club Head Coach and Technical Lead of the Welland Soccer Club.

Andrew brings a strong combination of playing experience, coaching expertise, and a passion for creating environments where players and coaches can grow. His playing career includes being a two-time Ontario Youth Cup Champion, an OCAA All-Star, and OCAA West Division Defender of the Year, before transitioning his focus toward coaching and player development.

Andrew has built an extensive coaching résumé across youth, collegiate, and senior levels. He currently serves as an assistant coach with Niagara College, where he has been involved with the men's program since 2021, and has coached in Ontario Premier League and League1 Ontario environments. In 2025, Andrew led Club Roma's League2 Men's team to a League2 Ontario Championship, earning League2 Coach of the Year honours along the way. He has also worked extensively within high-performance youth soccer.

His coaching education includes his Canada Soccer C Licence, completion of the OCAA mentorship program, and acceptance into the Canada Soccer National B Licence pathway. Andrew also brings more than five years of experience in video analysis, player evaluation, and tactical development. Beyond coaching teams, he is passionate about coach development and mentorship, with a focus on helping coaches become better educators and helping players understand the game—not simply play it.

As Club Head Coach and Technical Lead, Andrew will help lead the technical direction of the club, support our coaches, develop our players, and continue building a strong, consistent development pathway throughout Welland Soccer Club. We are extremely excited to have Andrew join us and look forward to seeing the positive impact he will have on our players, coaches, and club community.
