Championship side Reading have signed former Newcastle United and England striker Andy Carroll on a short-term deal until the middle of January.
Carroll, 32, had been a free agent since being released by the Magpies at the end of last season.
"Andy is looking for a new challenge in his career and we need a player with his quality and vast experience," Reading manager Veljko Paunovic said.
Carroll could make his Royals debut against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Reading are without a number of striking options through injury, including Lucas Joao and Yakou Meite.
Carroll, capped nine times by England, became Liverpool's record signing in January 2011 when he joined the Reds for £35m from Newcastle on a five-and-a-half-year deal.
