Cook: Carroll Brings Amazing Pedigree to the Squad - Ipswich Town News
Town boss Paul Cook says new addition Tom Carroll brings amazing pedigree to the squad.
The 29-year-old midfielder became the Blues’ 16th senior signing of the summer this afternoon and could make his debut at Cheltenham tomorrow.
"We’re delighted to have acquired him,” Paul told the club site. "What a good footballer. His career has been knocked back by one or two injuries that have probably stopped Tom having a career at the highest level.
"Tom’s career is there for everyone to see. If it wasn’t for one or two injuries along the way, then we simply wouldn’t be signing him in League One.
"As our supporters have seen in the games so far, creating chances is going to be a challenge with teams defending deeper. He’s a creative midfielder, he’s easy on the eye, he can see a pass.
"If you look at the loans and the clubs he’s played for, the pedigree he brings to the squad is amazing.”
