Carroll made his competitive debut for the Tipperary senior hurlers in the 1997 National League semi-final against Galway.
Carroll made his Championship debut against Waterford in the Munster Championship in 2000. He won his first All-Star that year. 2001 proved to be a good year for Carroll as a hurler. He was a key member of the panel when Tipp won the National League, the Munster Championship and the All-Ireland Championship. Carroll also won a Railway Cup medal with Munster in 2001 and was named in the centre-forward position on the All-Star team of that year.
Carroll is one of the most versatile players on the Tipperary team. Although his best position is centre-back, he played as a full back when he made his debut in 1997. Similarly, he has won an All-Star award at wing-back while playing in the centre-forward position the following year. He currently plays as a half-forward. Carroll has also played Gaelic football with the Tipperary senior team.
