Carroll's move to Dagenham came just hours after the club was purchased by a Qatari consortium. The new owners have appointed Youseph Al Sharif as interim chairman and Anwar Uddin as non-executive director.

As a shareholder, Carroll is excited to be involved in the leadership of the club. He believes his experience playing for various clubs will help him add value to the team. Carroll's first priority is to help the team get promoted to a higher league.

Carroll received offers from several clubs in Europe, but he chose to join Dagenham because it was a project he wanted to be part of. He also wanted to return to England and play for a club where he would be happy.

Carroll is looking forward to contributing to the team's success and helping the club grow. With his experience and passion, he is confident that he can make a positive impact at Dagenham & Redbridge.
