Andrew Carroll (born January 6, 1989 in Gateshead) is an English football player. His position is forward and he currently plays for Newcastle United.

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 Athletic goalkeeper John Filan prevented him bagging his first goal in a Newcastle United shirt.^[1]

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