Former Newcastle and Liverpool striker Andy Carroll has completed a surprise move to non-league side Dagenham and Redbridge.

The former England international became a free agent after leaving Bordeaux at the end of last season, but has decided to return to his home country to be closer to his family.

Carroll became a fan favourite in his single campaign in the south of France after dropping down the divisions and taking a huge pay cut, even revealing that he was losing money by playing for them.

The 36-year-old scored 11 goals in 23 matches last season as Bordeaux finished fourth in the National 2, France's fourth divison.
