Steve Bruce has confirmed Andy Carroll has left Newcastle after his contract ended.
Carroll returned to Newcastle for a second stint in the summer of 2019 from West Ham but he struggled to make an impact in the first-team, scoring just once from 37 matches.
Carroll, who played nine times for England, saw his deal expire at the end of the 2020-21 season and his No 7 shirt was recently handed over to Joelinton.
And Bruce has now confirmed that Carroll's time at St James' Park has come to an end - claiming the 32-year-old, who has been hindered by injuries - needs regular game time.
