Biography:
Roy Carroll agreed his release from Odense in January 2011 in an attempt to secure a move back to the UK. After several trials over a six month period he joined Greek Super League side, OFI Crete. His performances for Crete earned him a mid-season move to Greek giants, Olympiacos. He made his début in dramatic circumstances, coming off the bench to save a penalty in a 1-0 win Europa League win over Rubin Kazan.

After a near-six year absence from the international scene, Carroll was recalled by Michael O'Neill.

Carroll was a regular under O'Neill until losing his place to Michael McGovern after suffering a stomach injury mid-way through the successful Euro 2016 qualifying campaign. He remained a squad regular until after his return to the Irish League with Linfield. He won his 45th and final cap in 2017, just a few months short of his 40th birthday.

Carroll was released by Linfield following a serious injury in 2019. He returned to playing with FC Mindwell a year later, and at the age of 43, returned to the Irish League when signed by Dungannon Swifts in January 2021. He was released at the end of the season.

In February 2021 Carroll was announced as goalkeeping coach for Northern Ireland's Under-17 and Under-19 sides. The following month in stepped in to coach the senior side on a one-off basis. His role with the senior side was made permanent in July when Steve Harper left the set-up.
