Andrew Cave-Brown (born 5 August 1988)is a Scottish professional footballer currently at Norwich City, although the club have announced that his contract will not be renewed beyond 2008-06-30. Cave-Brown is predominantely a right sided full-back, who has been capped for Scotland at under-20 Level, for whom he played in the World Cup in 2007.

Andrew attended Gravesend Grammar School in Kent.

Cave-Brown had been on the books of Charlton Athletic but joined on a scholarship at Norwich City for the 2004-05 season. He made his full Norwich debut in the dying moments of the FA Cup third round defeat against West Ham United in January 2006, and made his first start in the League Cup victory over Torquay United in August 2006, although he was stretchered off after half an hour with a leg injury. He signed a professional contract in April 2006.

Cave-Brown was called up to the Scotland Under-19 squad in August 2005 and he played all qualifying games for the Scottish Under-19 side that reached the final of the 2006 European Under-19 Championship.

Andrew signed for King's Lynn on loan in December 2006, following the appointment of Keith Webb, the ex-Norwich City reserve team manager, as King's Lynn's new first team manager. He returned to Norwich in February 2007.

In the summer of 2007, he represented Scotland in the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Canada, however the side were knocked out in the group stage having lost all three of their games against Japan, Nigeria and Costa Rica.

Cave-Brown was backup to summer (2007) signing Jon Otsemobor at Norwich, and was released[1] at the end of the season in 2008, following Norwich's disappointing campaign.
