Joe Cole hints at West Ham return

Former Hammer Joe Cole has been back at the West Ham Academy this week after passing his UEFA B coaching licence.

Cole told  WHUFC.com “Once you play for West Ham you are always part of the family and I’m sure I will be back one day in some capacity.”

“It was great to see all the old faces and seeing some old friends. All the top clubs bring players through and West Ham have a good tradition of doing it and they need to keep improving.

“West Ham need to keep producing players and everyone here is doing well.”
