Andrew Pagett (born 25 April 1982) is a Welsh former professional snooker player.

Career

= Early career =

He played on Challenge Tour from 2003 to 2005, and first qualified for the Main Tour in 2008–09, but lost his place after just one season. He regained his place for the 2010–11 season by topping the Welsh rankings. He is a practice partner of Mark Williams.

= 2010/2011 season =

Pagett qualified for the 2011 World Snooker Championship after winning four qualifying matches. He knocked out Zhang Anda, Bjorn Haneveer and Nigel Bond, before beating Andrew Higginson 10–6 to qualify for the final stages of a major event for the first time,{{cite news| url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/snooker/9424713.stm | title = Pagett thanks Mark Williams after qualifying success | work = BBC Sport | date = 14 March 2011 | access-date = 27 March 2011 }} where he was defeated 10–7 by Jamie Cope.

= 2011/2012 season =

Pagett began the 2011–12 season ranked 71st in the world meaning he would have to win four qualifying matches to reach the ranking event main draws.{{cite web |title=Rankings after 2011 World Championship |url=http://www.worldsnooker.com/staticFiles/64/71/0,,13165~160100,00.pdf |website=worldsnooker.com |publisher=World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association |access-date=23 May 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120614041647/http://www.worldsnooker.com/staticFiles/64/71/0,,13165~160100,00.pdf |archive-date=14 June 2012 }} However, after attempting to qualify for all eight tournaments he only won two matches; one at the Australian Goldfields Open and the other at the German Masters.{{cite web | url=http://snooker.org/res/index.asp?player=65&season=2011 | title=Andrew Pagett 2011/2012 | website=snooker.org | access-date=23 May 2012}} Pagett played in 11 of the 12 minor-ranking Players Tour Championship events throughout the season, with his best finishes coming in Event 4 and Event 9, where he reached the last 32. He was ranked number 82 on the PTC Order of Merit.{{cite web|url=http://snooker.org/res/index.asp?template=10&season=2011|title=Order of Merit|website=snooker.org|date=8 January 2012|access-date=11 April 2012}} Pagett finished the season without a world ranking and will not play on the main tour in the 2012–13 season.{{cite web |url=http://www.worldsnooker.com/staticFiles/1d/b0/0,,13165~176157,00.pdf |title=Official World Snooker Ranking List for the 2012/2013 Season |date=8 May 2012 |access-date=23 May 2012 |work=World Snooker |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120522154016/http://www.worldsnooker.com/staticFiles/1d/b0/0,,13165~176157,00.pdf |archive-date=22 May 2012 |df=dmy }}

= 2012/2013 season =

Pagett could only enter Players Tour Championship events in the 2012/2013 season, taking part in seven of them. His best finish came in the third European Tour event in Belgium, where he beat Raf van de Maele, Robbie Williams, Stuart Bingham, Thepchaiya Un-Nooh and former world champion Neil Robertson, before losing to Mark Allen 1–4 in the semi-finals.{{cite web | url=http://snooker.org/res/index.asp?player=65&season=2012 | title=Andrew Pagett 2012/2013 | website=snooker.org | access-date=5 April 2013}} It was this result which largely contributed to him finishing 55th on the Order of Merit to claim one of the eight spots on offer to players not on the main tour for the 2013–14 and 2014–15 seasons.{{cite web | url=http://www.snooker.org/res/index.asp?template=10 | title=Order of Merit 2012/2013 | website=snooker.org | access-date=5 April 2013 | archive-date=28 April 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130428072211/http://snooker.org/res/index.asp?template=10 | url-status=dead }}

= 2013/2014 season =

Pagett made a dream start to the season as in his first match he defeated world number one Mark Selby 5–3 to qualify for the 2013 Wuxi Classic in China where he lost 2–5 to David Gilbert in the first round.{{cite web | url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/snooker/22682698 | title=Mark Selby suffers Wuxi Classic defeat by Andrew Pagett | date=27 May 2013 | work=BBC Sport | access-date=30 May 2013}}{{cite web|title=Andrew Pagett 2013/2014|url=http://www.snooker.org/res/index.asp?player=65&season=2013|website=snooker.org|access-date=17 June 2013}} Later in the year he reached the last 32 of a ranking event for only the second time in his career at his home tournament the Welsh Open. Pagett beat Marcus Campbell 4–0 and Gerard Greene 4–3, before losing 0–4 to Stephen Maguire. Pagett ended his first season back on the tour ranked world number 103.{{cite web|url=http://www.worldsnooker.com/staticFiles/71/c1/0,,13165~180593,00.pdf |title=Prize Money Rankings After the World Championship 2014 |work=World Snooker |access-date=8 May 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140508030740/http://www.worldsnooker.com/staticFiles/71/c1/0%2C%2C13165~180593%2C00.pdf |archive-date=8 May 2014 |df=dmy }}

= 2014/2015 season =

After losing in the qualifying rounds of the first three events of the 2014–15 season, Pagett beat Rory McLeod 6–3 to play in the International Championship, where he lost 1–6 to Peter Ebdon. He was knocked out of the first round of both the UK Championship and Welsh Open 6–2 by Mike Dunn and 4–2 by McLeod respectively. Pagett's only win at the venue of a ranking this year was a 4–2 success over Zack Richardson at the Indian Open, before he lost 1–4 to Chris Wakelin in the second round.{{cite web|title=Andrew Pagett 2014/2015|url=http://www.snooker.org/res/index.asp?season=2014&player=65|website=snooker.org|access-date=24 April 2015}} He was relegated from the tour at the end of the season as the number 80 in the world rankings and did not enter Q School.{{cite web|title=World Rankings After 2015 Betfred World Championship|url=http://www.worldsnooker.com/rankings/|work=World Snooker|access-date=8 May 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150507001308/http://www.worldsnooker.com/rankings/|archive-date=7 May 2015 }}

Pagett regained his place on the professional circuit following his victory at the 2020 EBSA European Snooker Championship. However, he had to have surgery to correct a perforated bowel which required 4–6 months rest and rehabilitation. His place was therefore deferred to the 2021-22 World Snooker Tour.{{Cite web|url=https://wst.tv/andrew-pagett-tour-card-deferral/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200928141326/https://wst.tv/andrew-pagett-tour-card-deferral/|url-status=dead|archive-date=28 September 2020|title=Andrew Pagett Tour Card Deferral|date=28 September 2020}}
