Andy Carroll Joins Bordeaux as Former Liverpool and Newcastle United Striker
Andy Carroll's New Chapter at Bordeaux
Former Liverpool and Newcastle United striker Andy Carroll has joined French side FC Girondins de Bordeaux. The 35-year-old has signed for the fourth-tier outfit following a season-long stay in France with Amiens, who signed Carroll from Reading last summer.
Bordeaux's Rebuilding Process
Amiens sporting director John Williams is currently assisting Bordeaux with their recruitment as they rebuild the squad after their relegation to Championnat National 2. Bordeaux suffered an administrative double relegation to National 2 this summer after not being able to provide financial guarantees ahead of the 2024-25 season.
Carroll's Career Highlights
- Made 31 appearances and scored four goals for Amiens last season.
- Scored 54 goals in 248 top-flight games during his career.
- Capped nine times by England between 2010 and 2012, scoring twice.
- Part of Euro 2012 squad under Roy Hodgson
Bordeaux, six-time champions of France, has faced numerous financial difficulties recently, including administration in 2021 and relegation to Ligue 2 at the end of the 2021-22 season.
