Career
Cooke began his career in English non-league football with Penryn Athletic,[3] before playing for Truro City between 2011 and 2018,[1] while studying for a PGCE in Sport Development at Plymouth Marjon University.[4]
After spending time with the V9 Academy, Cooke turned professional in June 2018, after signing for Scottish club St Mirren alongside Josh Heaton.[2][5] He made his debut for St Mirren on 13 July 2018 in the Scottish League Cup.[6] He scored a hat-trick in the final game of the 2018–19 season.[6][2] He described his first season as a professional as a "rollercoaster".[3]
On 1 August 2019, the club confirmed that Cooke would be out of action for between six and nine months after rupturing knee ligaments during a match.[7] He returned to action in December 2019.[8]
On 2 June 2020 it was announced that he would remain with the club under the coronavirus furlough scheme before leaving the club.[9] In June 2020, Cooke left Saints when his contract expired.[10] Cooke said he wanted to move nearer to his home in Cornwall, and would consider returning to part-time football in order to do so.[11]
On 28 August 2020, Cooke signed for newly-promoted National League side Weymouth.[12]
Cooke was released from Weymouth at the end of the 2020–21 season,[13] and on 11 June 2021 joined National League South side Bath City.[14]
On 23 July 2024, Cooke signed for fellow National League side Torquay United.[15]
