Vytautas Andriuškevičius (born 8 October 1990), commonly known as Vytas, is a retired Lithuanian footballer who played as a left-back. He is now an assistant coach for the Portland Thorns of the American National Women's Soccer League (NWSL).

Playing career

Club

Andriuškevičius began his professional career in 2007 with FBK Kaunas in Lithuania. From 2007 to 2008, he was loaned to FBK Kaunas's second team to gain experience as a starter. However, he was unable to earn meaningful playing time, and soon signed with Lechia Gdańsk of the Polish Ekstraklasa.

On 3 April 2013, he joined Djurgårdens IF on a one-year contract with an option for an additional three years.

In 2014, Andriuškevičius signed with SC Cambuur of the Dutch Eredivisie. On 13 May 2016, he left the team after it was relegated from Eredivisie to Eerste Divisie.

On 14 July 2016, he signed with the Portland Timbers of Major League Soccer (MLS) and played for two years there.

On 7 August 2018, it was announced that he had transferred within MLS to D.C. United in exchange for $50,000 of Targeted Allocation Money. He suffered a hip flexor injury during training which sidelined him for the rest of the season. He was released by D.C. United at the end of the 2018 season after not making a single appearance.

In 2019, he played five games for Lithuanian team FK Sūduva, which won the A Lyga that season. On July 8, 2019, he transferred to Kazakh team FC Tobol and played 12 games there. For the 2020 season, he transferred to another Kazakh team, FC Kyzylzhar, and played 10 games.

He announced his retirement in April 2021.

International

Andriuškevičius was part of the Lithuania national football team. On 10 September 2019 he scored his only international goal, against Portugal in a 1–5 loss.

Coaching career

After retiring from playing, Andriuškevičius moved back to Portland and began coaching youth sports. On 11 May 2022, Portland Thorns FC — the women's team in the same organization as the Timbers — hired Andriuškevičius as an assistant coach.
