Andros Townsend Begins Fresh Chapter with Surprise Move to Thai League Side Kanchanaburi Power
Former Premier League winger Andros Townsend has taken a surprising step in his career by joining Thai League 1 newcomers Kanchanaburi Power. After an underwhelming stint with Antalyaspor in Turkey, where he failed to register a single goal in 12 appearances during the 2024/25 season, the 34-year-old is seeking a fresh start in Asia. The move reflects both a desire to revive his career and a bold decision to embrace a new footballing environment.
Townsend’s journey through professional football has been filled with ups and downs. He started at Tottenham’s academy and went on several loan spells before establishing himself with Spurs, earning nearly 100 appearances. He later played for Newcastle United, Crystal Palace, and Everton, and even earned 13 caps for England, scoring memorable goals on the international stage. Despite early promise, his career has struggled for momentum in recent years.
Following his departure from Everton, Townsend hoped to rejuvenate his form in Turkey, but his time at Antalyaspor did not go as planned. Without a single goal or assist, he ended his contract early and began searching for a new opportunity. His move to Thailand represents a significant shift away from the intensity of European football and offers a chance to rediscover his rhythm in a less pressured environment.
Kanchanaburi Power, newly promoted to Thai League 1, is betting on Townsend’s experience to boost their competitiveness. His signing has drawn attention due to his background in English football, and the club sees his presence as both a tactical asset and a marketing boost. For Townsend, it’s a chance to reignite his passion for the game and prove that he still has something to offer on the pitch, even if it’s far from the spotlight of Europe’s top leagues.
