Former England international Carlton Cole to join Billericay Town?

Former West Ham United striker Carlton Cole has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for non-league side Billericay Town.

The Essex-based club have already completed the signing of Paul Konchesky in recent weeks, and it now appears that Cole will become the second former England international to make the switch to New Lodge.

According to The Sun, the 33-year-old is in line to link up with the eighth club of his career after a disappointing spell in the United States with Sacramento Republic.

Cole spent almost a decade at West Ham but since leaving the club in 2015, he has made just five appearances on British soil, all of which came during a period with Celtic.

Billericay currently sit in ninth position in the Ryman Premier League.
