Playing career

Early years

A winger, Carroll began his career in the youth system at Southampton, but failed to make a first team appearance. [2] He dropped into non-League football to sign for Southern League Premier Division club Gosport Borough in 1986. [3]

Brentford

Carroll made a move into League football to return home to London and join Third Division club Brentford on non-contract terms in September 1986. [2] He made 26 appearances and scored five goals during the 1986–87 season and signed a permanent contract. [4] Carroll was out of favour during the 1987–88 season, though he managed to score five goals in 16 appearances up front. [3] He rejected a monthly contract and departed at the end of the campaign, [2] having made 42 appearances and scored 10 goals during less than two years at Griffin Park. [3]

Return to non-League football

After his release from Brentford, Carroll dropped back into non-League football, joining Southern League Premier Division club Fareham Town, [3] for whom he made 50 appearances and scored 12 goals. [5] He made the move up to the Conference to join Yeovil Town in 1989 and scored 43 goals in 140 appearances during a three-year spell at Huish Park. [6] He moved to Conference rivals Woking in 1992 and failed to make an impression before further spells in the Isthmian and Southern Leagues with Crawley Town, [7] Salisbury City, Basingstoke Town, Worthing and Bashley. [8]

Coaching career

As of 2015, Carroll was first team coach at Wessex League Premier Division club Christchurch. [9] As of 2018, he was working as Football Development Officer at Fareham Town. [10] In April 2020, Carroll was appointed as manager of the Romsey Town Development Squad. [11]
