Andy Carroll has joined National League South side Dagenham & Redbridge following his departure from French club Bordeaux.
Carroll scored 11 goals in 23 matches for Bordeaux during 2024-25 as the six-time French champions recorded a fourth-place finish in Championnat National 2, the fourth tier of French football to which the club were administratively relegated last summer.

The 36-year-old former England international previously played in Ligue 2 for Amiens, scoring four goals in 2023-24.
Ahead of Carroll’s announcement by Dagenham & Redbridge on Saturday, the east London club confirmed they had been bought by a consortium of prominent Qatari private investors. The takeover remains subject to approvals from the Football Association and National League.
The club said Youseph Al Sharif had been appointed as the club’s interim chairman and would be supported by the team’s former captain, Anwar Uddin, who joins as a non-executive director.

Carroll came through Newcastle’s academy and after scoring 11 goals in the first half of the 2010-11 Premier League campaign, became Liverpool’s record signing when he moved to Anfield for £35million on deadline day in January 2011.
The striker scored 11 goals in 58 matches for Liverpool before joining West Ham United, where he scored 34 goals across seven years, before re-joining Newcastle in 2019 and having subsequent spells at West Bromwich Albion and Reading.
Dagenham & Redbridge, who spent nine years in the Football League between 2007 and 2016, were relegated out of the National League last season, marking a first return to the sixth tier of the English football pyramid since 1999-00.
“The level does not matter, I just want to get on the pitch and play football,” Carroll told Sky Sports.
“I had clubs ringing me up from higher leagues but it has to be the right fit and what I want to do, rather than it being higher up or for more money.
“We have a project here to get the club out of the non-league.
“I have more excitement now than I ever have; I just love playing football and want to show everyone I’m just playing for the love of football rather than the levels.”

Salače zlobilo rameno, přesto v předčasně ukončeném závodě v Německu dojel šťastně v desítce
„Je to pro mě docela těžký víkend, včera byla voda, měl jsem menší pád, hnul jsem si s ramenem a není to úplně ideální, je to už třetí den,“ pravil Salač před startem závodu do kamery TV Nova.V deštivé sobotní kvalifikaci si na německé dráze nedaleko hranic s Českem vyjel čtrnáctou příčku, ze které se po startu dostal o dvě pozice vpřed. Postupně ale začal klesat pořadím a pendloval kolem poslední bodované patnácté pozice.Směrem kupředu mu ale pomohly dva karamboly jezdců před nimi. Nejprve se srazil David Alonso s Diogem Moreirou a čtyři kola před koncem Albert Arenas s Marcosem Ramírezem. Právě po jejich srážce byl závod předčasně ukončen. Salač tak dojel posedmé z dosavadních jedenácti závodů v první desítce. Na Sachsenringu vyhrál Turek Deniz Öncü, jenž se nedlouho po startu ze šesté pozice dostal do čela a skoro celou dobu mu dýchal na záda Belgičan Barry Baltus. Třetí finišoval Salačův stájový […]

Po odchodu Portugalce Florencia se k házenkářkám Mostu vrací kouč Tancoš
Florencio u týmu skončil po jediné sezoně, ve které Černí andělé vybojovali jedenáctý mistrovský titul. Třiačtyřicetiletý Portugalec se v červnu rozhodl přijmout nabídku z Rumunska. Už tehdy Severočeši oznámili, že přípravu s týmem zahájí Tancoš s Šustáčkem, v tomto týdnu jejich angažování potvrdili.Třiapadesátiletý Tancoš už mostecké házenkářky vedl v letech 2019-2021 a pak ještě v ročníku 2022/23 po brzkém odvolání Poláka Adriana Struzika. Bývalý reprezentant se tedy k interligovému týmu vrací po dvou letech. Sportovním ředitelem klubu nově zůstane pouze u mládežnických kategorií. Už v úterý se Baník dozví jméno soupeře pro předkolo Evropské ligy.
