Carroll signed on a permanent deal yesterday for a non-disclosed fee that was rumoured to be ร‚ยฃ4.5m plus add ons in the press in the lead up to the signing.

He spent a season on loan here in 2014-15 under the charge of Garry Monk, scoring once in eighteen appearances and he hopes to make a greater impact this time around as we battle to retain our Premier League place.

รขโ‚ฌล“Itรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs been a couple of years since Iรขโ‚ฌโ„ขve been here รขโ‚ฌโ€œ there have been some changes รขโ‚ฌโ€œ but Iรขโ‚ฌโ„ขm excited to be back,รขโ‚ฌย said Carroll

รขโ‚ฌล“It definitely helps knowing quite a few of the lads from my loan spell, while I know (assistant coach) Nigel Gibbs and (head of physical performance) Karl Halabi too.

รขโ‚ฌล“Knowing the players and staff allows you to settle quicker than normal. It can take time to settle in at a new club, but having some familiar faces around the place will help me get going straight away.

รขโ‚ฌล“I know what the club is about too, and I know the playing style suits me so that was a big factor in me coming here.รขโ‚ฌย

Carroll – like Martin Olsson – has signed a two and a half year deal

Swansea City 0-1 Millwall – your player ratings

The season ended with a pathetic whimper as Swansea City huffed and puffed with little to show from plenty of possession against a dogged Millwall team. Matt Grimes missed a second half penalty in the sunshine before Ronald’s mistake set up a Millwall winner that the Swans never looked like…
