Andrew Derek Bara Kiwomya (born 1 October 1967) is an English professional association football coach and former player. He played as both a left winger and a striker.
Early life
Andy attended St Bede's Grammar School in Heaton, Bradford. He played for the school football team in the Bradford Metropolitan District Schools' Football Association (BMDSFA) league, scoring 10 goals (possibly more as 7 goals are unaccounted for) in the 1982/83 season.
Playing career
Born in Huddersfield, Kiwomya played League football in England and Scotland for Barnsley, Sheffield Wednesday, Dundee, Rotherham United, Halifax Town, Scunthorpe United, Bradford City, Luton Town, Burnley and Notts County.
He later played non-League football for Cambridge City, Nuneaton Town, Boston United, Ilkeston Town and Stocksbridge Park Steels.
Coaching career
He was employed by Huddersfield Town as head performance coach in 2010.
Kiwomya was announced as manager of Sheffield FC in May 2015, succeeding Jordan Broadbent. He stepped down from the managerial role in March 2016, becoming head of youth development.
In April 2019, Kiwomya joined EFL Championship side Leeds United as a coach for their Development Hub for elite player development scholarship.
In December 2021 he became head of club performance at Bradford City, having held previous similar roles at Manchester City and Nottingham Forest. Bradford City manager Derek Adams said he believed Kiwomya's appointment would help improve the team's performances. He left Bradford City in July 2022.
