World Football - Olympiakos sign goalkeeper Carroll
Olympiakos have completed the signing of former Manchester United goalkeeper Roy Carroll, the Greek champions have announced.
The 34-year-old has signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with Ernesto Valverde's team after impressing during a five-month spell at OFI Crete.
"I am very happy to come to such a club, it is a great honour for me to play for best team in Greece," former Northern Ireland keeper Carroll told Olympiakos's official website.
"I will do everything I can to contribute to the success of the club. I am looking forward to the games in the Europa League and my return to European competition.
"I hope next year to play in the Champions League, because we all want to play at the top level, but to do that we have to win the championship."
Carroll moved to OFI last August in a bid to resurrect his career and gained plaudits for his displays in the Super League for the Cretan club, who are seventh in the 16-team table.

He's a great keeper, I remember an amazing save he made for Man United against Spurs when it looked like a Mendes shot was gonna go in and he managed to scoop the ball off the line and prevent a certain goal. No other keeper could have kept it out.
It would have been a better if they signed the other Carroll from Liverpool, he is good at making sure none of his shots get in..
What with our current goalkeeper this is one bad move
Who is Gordan Banks playing for now.
