Andy Carroll faces prison after protection order breach charge | OneFootball

Andy Carroll faces a possible prison sentence after being charged with breaching a protection order, and is due in court on Tuesday.

Essex Police said the 36-year-old from Epping was arrested on 27 April and the alleged offence relates to an incident in March. He is scheduled to appear at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court on 30 December.

A protection order is a civil injunction restricting someone from contacting or approaching another person, or attending a specific address. Breaching such an order is a criminal offence that can carry a prison term of up to five years.

The former Liverpool and Newcastle United striker is an ex-England international with nine caps and two goals.

Carroll currently plays for Dagenham and Redbridge in the sixth tier, following a stint with Bordeaux in the 2024-2025 season.
