coaching. Ballinamallard United On 2 January 2023, Carroll was a shock inclusion on the Ballinamallard United team sheet for a match against Annagh United, who were in the midst of an injury crisis. His return only lasted 35 minutes as he suffered a hamstring injury and had to be substituted with the team 1–0 down; they went on to lose 4–0. Carroll said after the game that he was now officially retired, having played his final game for the club where he had started his career. International career Carroll gained his first full international cap on 21 May 1997 in a game against Thailand. For many years, Carroll fought a losing battle to be Northern Ireland's first-choice keeper to the experienced Maik Taylor. Despite this, Carroll had still amassed 19 caps up to September 2006. The last of these 19 caps came in a Euro 2008 qualifying match against Spain at Windsor Park. Northern Ireland pulled off a memorable 3–2 win, but Carroll had to be substituted after only 12 minutes due to a groin injury. After a six-year absence from the international team, Carroll was named in the friendly squad to face the Netherlands on 2 June 2012. He came on as a substitute for the second half, conceding two goals as Northern Ireland lost 6–0. He made his competitive return to the Northern Ireland team on 7 September 2012, when he started in Northern Ireland's 2–0 defeat away to Russia in their opening qualifier for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
