register new custom post type in an external file

I can register a custom post type by adding this to the functions.php file

/*************** ALBUM POST TYPE **************/

function album_post_type() {

	$labels = array(
		'name'                  => _x( 'Albums', 'Post Type General Name', 'text_domain' ),
		'singular_name'         => _x( 'Album', 'Post Type Singular Name', 'text_domain' ),
		'menu_name'             => __( 'Album', 'text_domain' ),

		'items_list'            => __( 'Items list', 'text_domain' ),
		'items_list_navigation' => __( 'Items list navigation', 'text_domain' ),
		'filter_items_list'     => __( 'Filter items list', 'text_domain' ),
	);
	$args = array(
		'label'                 => __( 'Post Type', 'text_domain' ),
		'description'           => __( 'Post Type Description', 'text_domain' ),
		'labels'                => $labels,
		'supports'              => array( ),
		'taxonomies'            => array( ),
		'hierarchical'          => false,
		'public'                => true,
		'show_ui'               => true,
		'show_in_menu'          => true,
		'menu_position'         => 5,
		'show_in_admin_bar'     => true,
		'show_in_nav_menus'     => true,
		'can_export'            => true,
		'has_archive'           => true,
		'exclude_from_search'   => false,
		'publicly_queryable'    => true,
		'capability_type'       => 'page',
		'menu_icon'				=> 'dashicons-album',
	);
	register_post_type( 'album', $args );

}
add_action( 'init', 'album_post_type', 0 );

how can I do this in an external file and then reference that file in my functions.php file?
