Ex-West Ham striker Cole targets new club

Former West Ham striker Carlton Cole isn't ready to hang up the boots.

Cole says he is open to contract offers as he returns to the UK after a brief spell in Indonesia with Persib Bandung.

Speaking on Soccer AM this morning, the seven-time England international said: "It was a good experience but I'm now back, searching for a team in England or abroad – I'm open.

“I want to be close to home obviously. I've just turned 34, but I know what I can do on the pitch. I'm fit enough – obviously not match-fit - but I'm training in the park behind my house."
