Carroll who has been with DCFC since 2017 helped form a dynamic and in some cases impenetrable backline for City during the Clubโ€™s remarkable NISA run that stretches back to the fall of 2020.

With Carroll back serving as an anchor, itโ€™s presumed that Detroit City will still continue to present a tough matchup for opposing offensive attacks, especially if the team brings back Matt Lewis which theyโ€™re rumored to be doing.

Carroll, who has worn the captainโ€™s armband since 2019 for City is now actually the longest-tenured current captain in Detroit professional sports beating out Dylan Larking of the Red Wings by almost two years. Carrollโ€™s return is also symbolic in a sense considering his tenure with City stretches back to its amateur days in the NPSL.
