Club career
Goode joined Leicester Tigers as a youngster, despite his youth he played a substantial part in the Tigers' record four successive Premiership titles and also won two Heineken Cup winners' medals. Goode started the 2001 final and was an unused replacement in the 2002 final. He later moved to Saracens and after moved back to his old club Leicester in 2003.
Goode was nominated for player of the Season 2004-5 and the PRA Players' Player of the Year. He also ended the season voted player of the year by the Leicester Tigers members and players and in March 2008, Goode became the all-time leading points scorer in the English Premiership, overtaking Jonny Wilkinson. Goode won his fifth Premiership medal in 2007, starting the final as Leicester defeated Gloucester. In the game Goode scored a try, three conversions and a penalty.
Following Leicester's 07/08 season, Goode left Welford Road and signed for French club CA Brive. Goode had a very impressive start in the Top 14, scoring 235 points in his first season, making him the second highest point scorer in the 2008–09 Top 14 season.
He spent the early part of 2010 on loan to South African Super 14 franchise, the Sharks. He made his Sharks debut off the bench against the Crusaders, but was sin-binned six minutes from full-time in this game following a head high tackle on Dan Carter.
In February 2010, Goode signed with then English Premiership side Worcester Warriors. He joined the side in the summer, in preparation for the new season starting in September 2010.
Goode scored a try, two conversions, a penalty and a drop-goal in leading Worcester Warriors to victory in the second leg of the Championship final against Cornish Pirates. This guaranteed promotion to the English Premiership for the 2011/2012 season.
He returned to Welford Road in April 2012 for the match against Leicester Tigers but was sent off in the first half after hitting his old team Tom Croft high and late with his arm. Despite this performance, Andy Goode's consistent kicking performances were important in ensuring they ended the season above London Wasps and Newcastle Falcons.
On 5 March 2013 it was announced that Goode would join London Wasps from the start of the 2013/2014 season.
On 21 December 2014, in Wasps' first permanent home match at the Ricoh Arena in his home town of Coventry, Goode set a Premiership record of 33 points in a single match with 1 try, 2 conversions and 8 penalties, beating the joint record of 32 points set by Niall Woods and equalled by Dave Walder and Tim Stimpson, as Wasps beat London Irish 48–16.
On 16 February 2015, it was announced Goode would join London Irish at the end of the season. However, on 8 September 2015, it was announced Goode would retire due to injury problems without playing a single game for London Irish and was therefore released from his contract.
On 28 December 2015, after having his injuries treated with a botulinum toxin solution, Goode came out of retirement with the Newcastle Falcons for three months as injury cover for Mike Delaney and Ruki Tipuna. Goode's first outing in Newcastle colours was in an Aviva A League match against Leicester Tigers A on 4 January 2016. He made his last appearance for Newcastle on 27 March 2016 and retired for a second time.
Goode was inducted into Premiership Rugby's Hall of fame in June 2021.
International career
Goode played five times for England Saxons in 2001 and 2002. He has also played 17 times for England.
Goode made his England début as a replacement for Charlie Hodgson in the 2005 Six Nations victory over Italy, in which he also scored his first points from a conversion.
Just before the 2009 Six Nations, Goode was called up to train with the England team and was subsequently named in the starting line-up for the match against Italy. Goode went on to score the opening try of the 2009 Six Nations and converted it himself, ending the match with 16 points. While playing against Argentina Old Trafford on 6 June 2009 he scored 22 points. He then scored 17 points against them in the match in Salta.
