Carroll, who is now 36 years old, has been available since playing a season with Bordeaux in France. Before that, he spent a year with Amiens in the second tier of English football during the 2023/24 season.

Chelmsford City is managed by Andy Harrop, who has expressed his satisfaction with the current squad. When asked about the potential signing of Carroll, Harrop remained tight-lipped, saying that he is happy with the team's current composition and believes in the development potential of his players.

Chelmsford City finished 11th out of 24 teams in the National League South last season, and the team is looking to build on their strengths and develop their young players.
