Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
He switched to Tasmania and got a first-class cap for the 2013-14 season and in only his second season picked up 37 wickets in Sheffield Shield competition to force the national selectors to notice him. His performances were rewarded and he got picked for the tour of Bangladesh in September 2015. That tour never happened because of security reasons and Fekete's dream of wearing the baggy green remained in the balance.
Fekete was even impressive in the next season and picked up 28 wickets but at an average of 34, which compared to his average of 24.10 in the preceding season paled pretty badly. He was also recruited for the Australia A side to tour India in the off-season and did reasonably well in the two unofficial Tests bowling to the likes of Pujara, Nair and Kohli. But then he had a back stress fracture from November 2016 and missed the BBL for Brisbane Heat despite being named in the squad. He has been cleared to play in BBL 07 and would turn up for Sydney Thunder.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A fast bowler who emerged late onto Australia's domestic scene, Andrew Fekete made his first-class debut at 28 and was called into Australia's Test squad at 30. It was a surprise inclusion for the 2015 tour of Bangladesh, but came after a breakthrough season in which he was the Sheffield Shield's leading fast bowler, with 37 wickets at 24.10, and won the Ricky Ponting Medal as Tasmania's best player for the 2014-15 season. An Australia A tour of India followed in the off-season and the selectors were impressed with Fekete's ability to find reverse swing. It was quite a rise for a man who had played only one one-day game for his home state of Victoria at 26 before heading south in the hope of more opportunities. Six Shield games with Tasmania came in his first summer, but he had still played only 18 in total when he earned his Test call-up.
