Robert Carroll (born 15 February 1968) is an English retired professional footballer who played as a right winger in the Football League for Brentford. He later embarked on a long career in non-League football, making 140 appearances for Yeovil Town.
Playing career
Early years
A winger, Carroll began his career in the youth system at Southampton, but failed to make a first team appearance.[2] He dropped into non-League football to sign for Southern League Premier Division club Gosport Borough in 1986.[3]
Brentford
Carroll made a move into League football to return home to London and join Third Division club Brentford on non-contract terms in September 1986.[2] He made 26 appearances and scored five goals during the 1986–87 season and signed a permanent contract.[4] Carroll was out of favour during the 1987–88 season, though he managed to score five goals in 16 appearances up front.[3] He rejected a monthly contract and departed at the end of the campaign,[2] having made 42 appearances and scored 10 goals during less than two years at Griffin Park.[3]
Return to non-League football
After his release from Brentford, Carroll dropped back into non-League football, joining Southern League Premier Division club Fareham Town,[3] for whom he made 50 appearances and scored 12 goals.[5] He made the move up to the Conference to join Yeovil Town in 1989 and scored 43 goals in 140 appearances during a three-year spell at Huish Park.[6] He moved to Conference rivals Woking in 1992 and failed to make an impression before further spells in the Isthmian and Southern Leagues with Crawley Town,[7] Salisbury City,[8] Basingstoke Town, Worthing and Bashley.[9]
Coaching career
As of 2015, Carroll was first team coach at Wessex League Premier Division club Christchurch.[10] As of 2018, he was working as Football Development Officer at Fareham Town.[11] In April 2020, Carroll was appointed as manager of the Romsey Town Development Squad.[12]
