N2: Andy Carroll arrives in Bordeaux!

Recruited by Amiens as a free player a year ago, Andy Carroll will continue his career in National 2 with the Girondins de Bordeaux.

There are some surprising trajectories and that of Andy Carroll is one of them. Former player of Newcastle, West Ham but especially Liverpool, the 35-year-old English striker has been playing for Amiens in Ligue 2 for a year and in the coming days, the British international (9 caps) will discover an even lower level. And for good reason, RMC indicates this Tuesday that Andy Carroll will sign with the Girondins de Bordeaux and that he should be qualified to play on Saturday against Châteaubriant for the return to Matmut Atlantique.

Last year, Andy Carroll scored 4 goals in 28 Ligue 2 games and although he was used by Omar Diaf at the start of the season with Amiens, he was not a regular in the Picardy team. A godsend for Bordeaux, who took advantage of the presence of John Williams, Amiens' sporting director who is also in charge of the club's recruitment at the scapular, to finalize the operation easily. In any case, this is a blow that is as unexpected as it is full of hope for the Girondins, where coach Bruno Irlès is not going to spit on such an experienced reinforcement in attack.
