Carroll first played for Offaly as a member of the county's minor hurling team in 2008. He enjoyed three years with Offaly in that grade but enjoyed little success. He is currently a member of the Offaly under-21 team.[citation needed]

In 2011 Carroll made his senior debut for Offaly in a pre-season Walsh Shield game against UCD.[4] Offaly later went on to win the final of that competition, with Carroll scoring a goal against Carlow in the final.[5]

Carroll made his senior championship debut when he came on as a substitute against Cork in a 2-17 to 2-16 defeat in the 2011 All-Ireland qualifiers.[6]
