Carroll joins Olympiakos

Former Manchester United goalkeeper Roy Carroll has joined Greek outfit Olympiakos on an 18-month deal.

The 34-year-old Northern Irishman has joined from OFI Crete and is delighted to be making

a return to European football, with Olympiakos playing Rubin Kazan in the round

of 32 in the Europa League in February.

Since leaving Old Trafford in 2005, Carroll has played for West Ham, Rangers, Derby

County and Danish side Odense before joining Crete, and he is delighted to now be

at Olympiakos.

“I’m very happy to have joined such a club,” Carroll told the

club’s official website.”It’s a real honour to be part of Olympiakos, Greece’s greatest team. I

will do my best in order to contribute and help our squad accomplish its goals.””I’m really looking forward to the Europa League games and my own

comeback to European competition.””I’m hoping that next year we will be playing in the Champions League,

because everybody wants to play at the top level. In order to be able to do so,

however, we must first win the championship.”
