The former England international signed a short term contract with the Magpies in summer and he will be a free agent at the end of this season.
As per Northern Echo, Bruce wants to keep the striker at the club. He will urge Lee Charnley to open talks with Carroll regarding a new deal. Apparently, he is impressed with the striker’s contributions on and off the pitch.
Carroll hasn’t quite managed to impress this season. He is yet to score this season and he hasn’t played too often either.
Injuries have limited his game time at Newcastle United this season.
