Former Manchester United and Northern Ireland goalkeeper Roy Carroll has moved from OFI Crete to Olympiakos after the 34-year-old player signed an 18-month contract with the champion on Thursday.

Olympiakos was desperate to find a goalkeeper to replace outgoing Franco Costanzo, who was disappointing in the six months he played for the Piraeus club. He has now been released after agreeing on compensation.

Carroll had a decent first half of the Super League with OFI and Olympiakos needed an experienced keeper as a back-up to 22-year-old Balazs Megyeri.

His transfer has set the Reds back by 330,000 euros, according to reports.
