CLUB BRUGGE have turned down the chance to sign Andy Carroll on a free transfer due to the results of his medical tests, according to reports.
The striker, 33, will be a free agent when his short-term contract with West Brom expires at the end of this month.
And while the Belgian side were willing to offer him a deal, which would have potentially seen him make his Champions League debut, they are now no longer interested.

As a result, they will not offer him a trial.
Carroll has struggled with various injury issues throughout his career which have had a significant impact on his fitness levels.
