Carroll has made a big impression in his short time at Reading.

Croatian midfielder Alen Haliovic sung his praises last week for the impact he has had at the club.

"He’s helping us in the dressing room because he’s an experienced guy, he’s played a lot of matches in the Prem, he will help us a lot not just on the pitch but outside the pitch as well. It’s good to have him here," he said, per the Reading Chronicle.

“When you have this kind of player where you know at any second he can score or keep the ball, other players from other teams respect him. So it’s easier for us.”
