In Pictures: Hammers announce Australia tour

Former West Ham United striker Carlton Cole was on hand to help launch the Club's tour to Australia in Perth on Thursday.

Cole was joined by Tottenham Hotspur Club Ambassador and former England teammate Ledley King ahead of their respective sides' meeting Down Under this summer.

The pair were treated to a rooftop tour of Optus Stadium, where the Hammers will take on their London rivals and A-League side Perth Glory in a pre-season double header in July.

They then spoke to local media and posed for pictures with Perth Glory CEO Anthony Radich, captain Mustafa Amini, striker Adam Taggart and Western Australia Minister for Tourism Roger Cook at the nearby BHP Amphitheatre as excitement for the tour ramps up.
