Adept as a central defender, full back or a midfielder, Carroll came through the youth system at hometown club Oxford United and began a scholarship in July 2015.[4] His progression was such that he was offered a ​2 1⁄2-year professional contract in August 2015 and signed it on 5 February 2016.[5][6] Carroll made his debut for the club as a substitute for Alex MacDonald after 82 minutes of a 2–0 Football League Trophy Southern Area quarter-final victory over Dagenham & Redbridge on 11 November 2015.[7] He did not feature in the remainder of Oxford's run to the 2016 Football League Trophy Final or in the club's promotion to League One,[8] but was a part of the U18 team which finished the season as Football League Youth Alliance Merit League 2 champions.[9] Carroll made seven appearances during the 2016–17 season and was named as the Us' Young Player of the Year.[10][11] He was an unused substitute during the 2–1 2017 EFL Trophy Final defeat to Coventry City at Wembley Stadium.[12] Carroll signed a new three-year contract with the club in May 2017.[13]
