Andy Carroll to play in non-league?! Chelmsford City linked with stunning swoop to sign ex-England international who once cost £35m

<p>Fresh from a stint in the French fourth-tier with Bordeaux, Carroll has returned to England, and is now on the hunt for a new club. The striker has been linked with a stunning potential move to National League South side Chelmsford City. Given that he has won nine caps for England, and once cost Liverpool £35 million, it would be a quite astonishing move. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Carroll is 36 and enjoyed a fine spell at Bordeaux, scoring 11 goals in 22 league games, and is now on the hunt for his next club. Chelmsford finished 11th in the National League South last season and are now setting their sights on promotion; they are two promotions away from the Football League. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Chelmsford boss Angelo Harrop has remained coy on a potential move, telling reporters: "No comment."</p><p>"I am really happy with what we have got in. We have got real quality, a lot of youth, a lot of players [who are] really hungry, which is great. We have got a brand new squad so we have got to knit together very quickly, but Rome was not built in a day.</p><p>"The football club has already made massive strides in the last two months."</p>

WHAT CHELMSFORD SAID

<p>Carroll will likely be one of the stories of the summer if he ends up joining Chelmsford. He has certainly made some interesting career decisions in recent years.</p>
