Former England and Liverpool striker Andy Carroll has signed for French fourth-tier club Bordeaux after leaving Amiens.
Carroll, 35, has dropped two divisions in France’s football pyramid, despite playing in all four of Amiens’ Ligue 2 matches this term.
He scored four goals in 35 appearances since joining the club in September 2023 on a free transfer from Reading.
In a statement, Bordeaux said: “His size, his goal-scoring talent and his fighting spirit will certainly help the Navy and White this season.
“We can’t wait to see him on the pitch!”
Six-time Ligue 1 winners Bordeaux surrendered their status as a professional club in July after being relegated out of Ligue 2 down to Championnat National 2 due to bankruptcy.
Across his Premier League career, Carroll scored 54 goals in 248 appearances during spells with Newcastle, Liverpool and West Ham.
For England, Carroll scored twice in nine caps, one of which was against Sweden at Euro 2012.
Carroll could make his Bordeaux debut on Saturday in a league match against Voltigeurs de Chateaubriant.
