He previously played four seasons with Welsh EIHL team Cardiff Devils, claiming five trophies and four EIHL defenseman of the year awards.[1] Following four seasons in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), Hotham attended Saint Mary's University in Nova Scotia where he played college hockey in the Atlantic conference of Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS). During his college career, he was named three times to the CIS All-Canadian First Team (2009, 2010 and 2011). During the 2012–13 season, Hotham was loaned to the Oklahoma City Barons of the AHL, from the Wheeling Nailers of the ECHL, where he helped the team advance to the Western Conference finals. On June 23, 2013, Hotham signed his first European contract on a one-year deal with Düsseldorfer EG of the DEL. Andrew Hotham moved to the UK ahead of the 2014/15 season to sign for EIHL side Cardiff Devils.
