Former England striker Andy Carroll set to appear in court after arrest

Sunday, 28 December 2025 19:00

Former Newcastle United and Liverpool striker Andy Carroll is set to appear in court next week after being charged with breaching a non-molestation order.

The ex-England footballer, who now plays for National League South club Dagenham and Redbridge, was arrested in April this year following an alleged incident the previous month.

Carroll, 36, is due to appear at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.

In a statement, Essex Police said: "A man has been charged with breaching a non-molestation order.

"Andrew Carroll, 36, of Epping, was arrested on 27 April and the alleged offences relate to an incident in March this year.

"He is due to appear at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court on 30 December."

A non-molestation order is a UK court injunction, normally to stop a person from contacting another individual.

The punishment for breaching the order ranges from a fine to up to five years in jail to the most serious of cases.

Carroll played for England nine times between 2010 and 2012.

In 2011, he moved from Newcastle to Liverpool for a then Anfield record of £35m.

He has also previously played for West Ham, Reading and West Brom.

After a spell in France with Amiens and Bordeaux, he signed for Dagenham and Redbridge in July.
