Andrew Michael Lonergan (born 19 October 1983 in Preston, Lancashire) is an English football goalkeeper currently playing for Preston North End.

He made his Preston debut as a 17-year-old in a League Cup tie away at Coventry City. With his progress being closely monitored by the goalkeeping coach, Peter Williams, he was sent out on loan to rivals Blackpool and Darlington.

With David Moyes leaving and Craig Brown entering the managerial fray at Deepdale, Lonergan remained optimistic about his future at the club; indeed, he was promoted to the first-team squad for the final stage of the 2002-03 season as an understudy to Scotland international Jonathan Gould. With Gould out injured for a period of the following season, Lonergan snapped up his goalkeeping gloves and stood between the sticks for the first time in the league against West Brom, two years after his debut. Gould fell out of favour soon after, and Lonergan remained as the first choice until the end of that season.

In excellent form, he picked up many admirers, including Manchester United,Fact|date=March 2007 and his future seemed uncertain. He remained at Deepdale for the 2004-05 season under the watchful eye of new manager Billy Davies, though, and played a major part in Preston's 24-game unbeaten run until an injury ruled him out for the rest of that season.

Billy Davies proceeded to snap up Carlo Nash from Middlesbrough to shore up the goalkeeping crisis and it took him over two years to gain back his place.clarifyme Nash kept his place for the 2005-06 term and kept a club record of over 30 clean sheets. Lonergan himself was injured in training early in 2005, and only returned to action with a loan spell in late 2005 at Wycombe Wanderers, only to become injured once again due to a screw holding his ligament in place snapping.

In November 2006, Lonergan joined Swindon Town on a one-month loan contract to gain first-team football. He returned early, however, after he wasn't given the football he desired.

He returned to the Preston bench until January 2007, when Nash's unprofessional attitude meant a recall to the first team for Lonergan in an FA Cup Fourth Round tie at Crystal Palace in which he impressed with a clean sheet in a 2-0 victory for Preston.

On the October 2 2004 Lonergan scored a goal from his own penalty area in the 39th minute against Leicester City to equalise. The game ended in a 1-1 draw.
