Former England and Liverpool striker Andy Carroll scored twice on his debut for French fourth-tier club Bordeaux in a 2-2 home draw with Voltigeurs de Chateaubriant.<\/b><\/p>\n

Carroll, 35, dropped two divisions in France’s football pyramid when he moved from Ligue 2 team Amiens to join Bordeaux earlier this month.<\/a><\/p>\n

Six-time Ligue 1 winners Bordeaux surrendered their status as a professional club in July after being relegated out of Ligue 2 down to Championnat National 2 because of bankruptcy.<\/p>\n

Bordeaux were 2-0 behind at half-time following two first-half goals from Babacar Leye just before the break, but Carroll got one back in the 72nd minute, connecting with a low volley at full stretch.<\/p>\n

The away side went down to 10 men in the 79th minute with Leye sent off and Carroll headed in an 88th-minute equaliser, rising well to convert a left-wing corner.<\/p>\n

Across his Premier League career, Carroll scored 54 goals in 248 appearances during spells with Newcastle, Liverpool and West Ham.<\/p>\n

For England, Carroll scored twice in nine caps, one of which was against Sweden at Euro 2012.<\/p>\n

Bordeaux are 15th of 16 sides in their division, with three draws and one loss, although they have one or two games in hand on all the other teams.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
