In Pictures: Women's team secure Thestrup and Cooke on deadline day

West Ham United Women completed a double swoop on deadline day, announcing the signings of Amalie Thestrup on loan from PSV and the permanent transfer of Shannon Cooke, who joins after leaving the University of Louisiana (LSU). 

The duo are the third and fourth new signing to come through the door at Chadwell Heath during the January transfer window after manager Paul Konchesky had already secured the services of Amber Tysiak and Anouk Denton earlier on in the month. 

With his side into the semi-finals of the Continental Tyres League Cup, the fifth round of the Vitality Women's FA Cup and still fighting to be one of the 'best of the rest' in the Barclays Women's Super League, the new recruits will no doubt help his side on all fronts during the second half of the season. 

Club photographer, Arfa Griffiths was on hand to capture their first images in Claret & Blue.
