Club career

Oxford United

Adept as a central defender, full back or a midfielder, Carroll came through the youth system at hometown club Oxford United and began a scholarship in July 2015.[4] His progression was such that he was offered a two-and-a-half year professional contract in August 2015 and signed it on 5 February 2016.[5][6] Carroll made his debut for the club as a substitute for Alex MacDonald after 82 minutes of a 2–0 Football League Trophy Southern Area quarter-final victory over Dagenham & Redbridge on 11 November 2015.[7] He did not feature in the remainder of Oxford's run to the 2016 Football League Trophy Final or in the club's promotion to League One,[8] but was a part of the U18 team which finished the season as Football League Youth Alliance Merit League 2 champions.[9] Carroll made seven appearances during the 2016–17 season and was named as the Us' Young Player of the Year.[10][11] He was an unused substitute during the 2–1 2017 EFL Trophy Final defeat to Coventry City at Wembley Stadium.[12] Carroll signed a new three-year contract with the club in May 2017.[13]

Carroll made something of a breakthrough during the 2017–18 season, making 17 appearances and scoring what would be his only goal for the club,[14] a header in a 3–2 defeat to Bradford City on 30 December 2017.[15][16] He departed the Us on 9 August 2018,[17] having made 25 appearances and scored one goal during two-and-a-half seasons as a professional at the Kassam Stadium.[16]

Brentford

On 9 August 2018, Carroll signed a two-year contract with the B team at Championship club Brentford for an undisclosed fee, with the option of a further year.[18]

Carroll has been capped by the Republic of Ireland at U17, U18 and U19 level.[19] He was nominated for the International U17 Player of the Year award at the 2016 FAI International Football Awards.[20]
