Former England national striker Andy Carroll (36) is practicing happy football in his later years as a player.

On the 13th (Korea time), Carroll officially joined Daedenum & Redbridge (hereinafter referred to as Daedenum) in England's sixth division.

Carroll, who played for Girondins de Bordeaux in France until last season, received numerous love calls after gaining free agency status, but decided to move on in large numbers only for his family.




Carroll's transfer came shortly after he was acquired by a consortium of individual investors in Qatar on the 12th. Youssef al-Sharif is the interim chairman, and Anwar Uddin, who has previously been the captain of Daedenum, has joined as a non-executive director. Daedenum is a club founded in 1992 and is located in east London, the capital of England. He was demoted to 21st place in the 2024-2025 National League (fifth division) and currently belongs to the National League South (sixth division).

'Sky Sports' reports Carroll is set to acquire a minority stake in East London-based Dasenum. In other words, he will serve as a player and shareholder in the future.

London-based massive acquisition by Middle Eastern capital recently.
In an interview with England 'The Sun', Carroll said "I'm really happy to join Daegonum. The kids know I'm joining Chelsea, so they'll be really surprised."




"The location is good, the kids will be able to come and watch my game because it's close to them. "I really enjoyed my time in Bordeaux, but it's time to settle down with my family. I want kids to come and watch my game with their friends"He confessed that the transfer was a choice for his children.

Carol has five children with two partners. She is currently dating a makeup artist, Rootistale.

Carroll said "I didn't mean to quit football. I'm really happy to be able to demonstrate leadership while working as a player. Having experienced firsthand how clubs at all levels operate, I think I can add value to this team."

In addition, "My first goal is to promote the team as a player. I got offers from clubs in France, Italy, and Spain, and some offered even more money. But I was attracted to Daedenum's project, and I wanted to go back to my hometown. At the best clubs, they may not agree with the coaches. I just wanted to stay where I could be happy."

Carole dominated the fans' love in just one season in Bordeaux. Although the team was relegated to the fourth division due to financial problems, it remained in the fourth division with a significant cut in salary and scored 11 goals (23 games) in the fourth division last season. He said in an interview at the time that he was in the red.

Carroll made his professional debut at Newcastle and moved to Liverpool in 2011 for a huge £35 million deal, making headlines. He played for England in nine matches and scored two goals. Carroll, who tasted failure in Liverpool, moved to Amiens in 2023 after traveling to West Ham, West Brom, Reading, and Newcastle.
