He began his career at Sale Sharks as well as appearing for Munster Rugby on loan. Kyriacou was capped for Ireland A. Personal lifeKyriacou was born 4 January 1983 in Liverpool, England. He is of English, Irish and Greek Cypriot ancestry. Kyriacou is married to Rebecca, a French and Spanish teacher and has two children, Teddy and Rufus[1] Playing careerEarly playing careerAndi started his rugby playing at Ormskirk RUFC and later moved to West Park RFC in St Helens, Merseyside, where he was amongst a string of Lancashire representatives from the club. Sale Sharks 2001–2004Kyriacou's first senior season in top flight English rugby at Sale Sharks included a debut in the Zurich Premiership.[2] More recognition came at an international level in 2004, when Kyriacou was part of the England U21 Grand Slam winning side in the U21 Six Nations championship.[3] Saracens 2004–2009Kyriacou joined Saracens on 1 July 2004,[4] one of a number of players to make the move from Sale to Saracens in that season including Alex Sanderson, Iain Fullarton and Kevin Yates, as well as Matt Cairns who was returning to the club after a single season with the Sharks.[3] He made his debut in European competition against Rugby Parma on 4 December of that year, with his Guinness Premiership debut soon after 2005–06 .[4] Working alongside Matt Cairns, Fabio Ongaro and Shane Byrne, Kyriacou was selected by Declan Kidney to join Munster Rugby for the 2006–07 season, making multiple appearances for the club in both their Celtic League and Heineken Cup campaigns. The experiences drawn from Munster Rugby meant that the 2007–08 season presented greater opportunities for Kyriacou back with Saracens.[4] Ulster Rugby 2009–2012In July 2009, Kyriacou signed a contract with Ulster Rugby.[5] Whilst at Ulster, Kyriacou was picked for the Ireland training squad and was capped for the Ireland Wolfhounds.[6] Cardiff Blues 2012–2013Kyriacou joined Cardiff Blues for the 2012–13 Pro 12.[7] Unfortunately, his playing career was cut short prematurely when Kyriacou injured his back early in the season.[8] Cardiff Blues then signed Kyriacou in a coaching role, supervising the scrum and skills in the first instance.[8]References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/sport/2009/1021/1224257144587.html|title=Kyriacou grasps opportunity this time|publisher=The Irish Times|date=10 October 2009|accessdate=3 July 2012}} 2. ^{{cite news|title=Guinness Premiership Profile |publisher=Guinness Premiership |date=7 November 2007 |url=http://www.guinnesspremiership.com/112_146.php?player=4816&includeref=dynamic |accessdate=7 November 2007 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071215141145/http://www.guinnesspremiership.com/112_146.php?player=4816&includeref=dynamic |archivedate=15 December 2007 |deadurl=no |df=dmy }} 3. ^1 {{cite news|title=Saracens sign up England U21 trio |publisher=Saracens |date=7 November 2007 |url=http://www.saracens.com/news/view.php?Id=816 |accessdate=7 November 2007 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110517070135/http://www.saracens.com/news/view.php?Id=816 |archivedate=17 May 2011 |df=dmy }} 4. ^1 2 {{cite news|title=Saracens Profile |publisher=Saracens |date=7 November 2007 |url=http://www.saracens.com/players/view.php?Id=100 |accessdate=7 November 2007 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071124082246/http://www.saracens.com/players/view.php?Id=100 |archivedate=24 November 2007 |df=dmy }} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/my_club/ulster/8012861.stm|title=Ulster bring in hooker Kyriacou|publisher=BBC Sport|date=22 April 2009|accessdate=3 July 2012}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/irish/8360005.stm|title=Ireland A 48–19 Tonga|publisher=BBC Sport|date=13 November 2009|accessdate=3 July 2012}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/17867005|title=Cardiff Blues confirm Andi Kyriacou signing from Ulster|publisher=BBC Sport|date=14 May 2012|accessdate=3 July 2012}} 8. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.skysports.com/rugby-union/news/15189/8776340/andi-kyriacou-forced-to-retire-and-joins-cardiff-blues-coaching-staff|title=Andi Kyriacou forced to retire and joins Cardiff Blues coaching staff|publisher=Sky Sports|date=14 June 2013|accessdate=30 August 2017}} External links
