Official | Andy Carroll joins Bordeaux from Amiens

FC Girondins de Bordeaux have officially announced the signing of Andy Carroll (35) from Amiens SC.

The former England international (9 caps) has taken another surprising step in the twilight of his career by leaving Ligue 2 side Amiens for Bordeaux who were recently relegated from the second tier to the fourth of French football after being plagued by serious financial issues. 

Carroll joined Amiens from Reading FC in the summer of 2023. The striker made 28 appearances during his time in the second division scoring four times. However, his season would come to an end early for Les Licornes after he suffered a knee injury. 

Amiens sporting director John Williams has been helping Bordeaux for the past few months build a new squad after the club released all their players on the books from their contracts in July. Williams had been instrumental in bringing Carroll to Amiens last summer.
