He scored 11 goals in 21 games last season, as Bordeaux finished 11 points behind promotion winners Stade Briochin.
A club statement read: “Having arrived last summer with a desire to take on a new challenge, Andy has shown total commitment from his first days with Bordeaux.
“On the pitch, the English striker scored 11 goals in 21 league matches.
“But beyond the statistics, Andy brought his experience, physical impact, and professionalism to his role on a daily basis, both in the locker room and during important matches.
“Off the pitch, he is an exceptional and generous personality that the Club’s fans and employees have enjoyed working alongside.
“Today, to be closer to his children, Andy has chosen to return home.
“We fully understand and respect this personal decision.
