Matt Carroll Biography

Matt Carroll is re-signed by Carlton after a successful trial period during the pre-season supplemental selection period (SSP).

"He had a tough year last year, hampered by injury, but has shown a great level of determination and maturity in the way he has gone about his rehab program," Blues list boss Nick Austin said.

"Having been here all last year, Matt has already grown a great connection with the coaches and players: he has continued to train with us over the pre-season and has impressed since day one."

Carlton delists Jack Carroll, Matt Carroll and Sam Durdin.

Durdin and Matt Carroll will be offered the chance to train with the Blues over summer in the hope of winning a spot for 2025 via the pre-season supplemental selection period (SSP).

“Jack leaves the football club with lifelong friendships, which is a testament to the positive contribution he made to the group during his four seasons with us and we wish him well for the next opportunity in his career,” Carlton Head of List Management Nick Austin said.

“Sam and Matt had their challenges with injury this year but we have admired their resilience to keep fronting up. While both players have not been offered new playing contracts to this point, they have both been invited to train with the squad and push for a spot on the playing list during the upcoming pre-season.”
