Andy Carroll has re-signed for Reading as a free agent. He had left West Bromwich Albion this summer, upon the expiration of his contract.
Carrol has signed a four month deal in Berkshire. This will keep him at the club until mid-January of 2023.
The striker has made a combined 395 appearances for several clubs in England. He has also managed to score 85 goals in those fixtures. Andy is an England international and has won nine caps for the Three Lions.
The Royals announced: “We are delighted to announce the signing of striker Andy Carroll on a short-term deal which will see him bolster our attacking options until mid-January.
“Carroll has been training with Paul Ince’s first team at Bearwood Park this week and this morning he put pen to paper on a four-month contract which could see him play a part in as many as 19 games as a Royal in 2022-23.
“Welcome back, Andy!”
Manager Paul Ince said, “I am really pleased to have Andy with us. Of course, a striker of his prowess gives us power. And a battling presence at the top of the pitch and I’m sure that will translate into goals. However, Andy’s arrival also offers us another strong voice in the dressing room. He is a leader, both on and off the pitch, and having trained with us all this week I can already see the positive influence he will have on the players around him and the boost he will no doubt give to the fans.”
