Encyclopedic overview

Andrew Thomas Carroll (born 6 January 1989) is an English professional footballer who currently plays and is the assistant manager for National League South club Dagenham & Redbridge. He has played in the Premier League and English Football League for Newcastle United, Reading, Liverpool, West Ham United, and West Bromwich Albion, and in Ligue 2 for Amiens. He played nine matches for England between 2010 and 2012, scoring twice, including one goal at UEFA Euro 2012.

Carroll began his professional career with Newcastle United in 2006, before spending a brief period on loan with Preston North End, during which time he scored his first league goal. He established himself as a regular in the Newcastle first team by 2008, and following Newcastle's relegation from the Premier League to the Championship in 2009, scored 17 goals in 39 appearances to help Newcastle finish first in the league, earning immediate promotion in the process. The following season he scored 11 goals in 19 appearances, before leaving for Liverpool on transfer deadline day in January 2011, signing for a fee of £35 million, at the time the record for a British footballer.
