The shocking news that Andy Carroll (36) from the 'England national team striker' will move to the English non-league team has been reported.

A series of sources, including the British Daily Mail, reported on the 8th (Korea time) 'Carroll ended his career in Bordeaux, France, and was caught up in a shocking transfer to the English National League South (sixth division) Champsford City'

Carroll scored 11 goals in 23 games for France's Bordeaux, where his professional club status disappeared last season after being demoted to the Epithelial Ona Nacional 2 (fourth division) and became an FA status with the expiration of his contract.




Since then, rumors of a transfer to Cemsford City, England, which is a sixth-division team but is ambitiously rebuilding with full-time players this year, have emerged. Asked about the carol rumours, Chesford head coach Angelo Harrop declined to comment. "We are very happy with the players we have at the moment," Harrop told the Nun League newspaper. We have young qualifying players, very passionate players, and all ages are good. We have a lot of potential for development for all the players we've recruited and this is the DNA that we're going to pursue."

Frontline striker Carroll played until 2011 after his first professional uniform with Newcastle in 2006, wore a Liverpool uniform from 2011-2013, and played for his hometown Newcastle again in 2019-2021 following West Ham in 2013-2019. Afterwards, he moved to Amiens in the second division of France in September 2023 after passing through Reading and West Bromwich, and played for Bordeaux in the fourth division last season. With his excellent physicality of 1m91, each team was loved by fans as a target-type solver who was good at aerial ball fights and high headers, but in his 20s, he was also talked about such things as drinking and violence.

His marriage to reality TV show star Billy Mucklow made headlines in 2014, and he had three children with Mucklow for 11 years and two more in a past relationship. She is currently dating makeup artist Rootsdale.




Carroll played a season with a salary cut for France's Bordeaux, which was relegated to the fourth division, but was greatly loved by local fans, and Bordeaux finished fourth in the league. Bordeaux said last month that "Carol left the team to return to his hometown, a decision to be closer to his five children." Six-time league champion Bordeaux has released a heartwarming farewell statement praising Carroll's generous personality and total commitment to the team. "Andy Carroll, who joined the club for a new challenge last summer, did not hesitate to move to the Girondins area for his adventure in Bordeaux, and showed full commitment from day one. Inside the stadium, he scored 11 goals in 21 league games. But beyond mere figures, Andy demonstrated experience, physical influence and everyday expertise in the locker room and in important matches. Outside the stadium, he was an exceptional and generous person who enjoyed spending time with club fans and staff. To be closer to his children, Andy decided to return to his hometown. We fully understand and respect this personal decision."

Cemsford City, which finished 11th out of 24 teams in England's sixth division last season, appear to be considering signing Carroll ahead of the switch to a full-time club this summer. "It's important to bring the team together quickly because it's a new squad," Harrop said. Perhaps only 17 to 18 first-team players can use it." "But Rome was not built overnight. Our club has already made tremendous progress over the past two months. We are trying to build a real football club that will have years of success."
