Andrew Thomas "Andy" Carroll (born January 6, 1989 in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear) is an English footballer who plays as a striker for Newcastle United. He is mainly deployed as the Target man of the team due to his height and aerial prowess. Carroll possesses good ball control and is capable of scoring with both feet.

Carroll attended Brighton Avenue Primary School and Joseph Swan School.

He was given his first-team debut in a UEFA Cup tie against Palermo on November 2, 2006, when he appeared as a late substitute and became the youngest ever player to represent Newcastle in Europe at the age of 17 years and 300 days.

He made his debut in the FA Cup in the home defeat to Birmingham City, appearing as substitute for the last 10 minutes.

On 25 February, 2007, Carroll made his Premiership debut for Newcastle, coming on as a substitute in the 87th minute in the 1–0 defeat to Wigan Athletic, almost scoring in the process, only a good save from Wigan goalkeeper John Filan prevented him from scoring his first goal in a Newcastle shirt.

In 2007, he won the 'Wor Jackie Milburn Trophy', given each year to the rising star of north-east football.

On July 29, Carroll scored his first senior goal in a 2-0 friendly win over Juventus, with a left foot shot. After the match, Carroll received praise from legendary Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, who tipped Carroll to have a big future. [ cite web|title=Buffon hails Magpies starlet|work=Sky Sports

Loan period at Preston

On August 14, Carroll signed a six month loan deal with Preston North End and made his debut for them in the League Cup against Morecambe on the same day.

Carroll was sent off playing for Preston against Scunthorpe United on 19 September. He finally scored his first Championship goal, and his first English league goal for Preston in the game against Leicester City on November 6. He returned to Newcastle in January after a rather unsuccessful time. After spending the rest of the season in the reserves and on the bench for Newcastle, Carroll was linked with recently relegated Derby County on 11 June, 2008.

On September 11, 2007, Carroll made his England Under-19 debut against Belarus, scoring in the 4-0 victory.
