Dagenham earlier announced on Saturday that they were taken over by a Qatarian consortium.
Carroll left Bordeaux last month after a season in the fourth stage of French football.
He spoke about Sky Sports and said: “The level doesn’t matter as long as I stand on the pitch and play football.
“I had clubs that rounded me up, higher leagues, but it has to be the right fit and I have to have control over what I want to do and not go somewhere because it is higher or more money is involved.
“I know what suits me, and this is something I think he can be fantastic.
“There is a project that she gets out of the non-league and in the leagues. It is just a great place.”

Carroll not only played for Liverpool and Newcastle, but also had magic with West Ham, Reading and West Brom and spent the last two seasons in France, first with Amiens and then with Bordeaux.
He continued: “I now have more excitement than ever before.
“I just love to play football and show everyone that I play for the love of football, and not for the money or level.
“It’s something I want to do and I am lucky that I can continue to do so.”
