Jordan Alan Cook (born 20 March 1990) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for League Two club Luton Town.

Career

Sunderland

Born in Hetton-le-Hole, Tyne and Wear,[1] Cook began his career with Sunderland, having progressed through the club's youth system and signed his first professional contract on 30 May 2008.[3] He made his Sunderland debut on 26 December 2010 after coming on as an 82nd-minute substitute for Steed Malbranque in a 2–0 away defeat to Manchester United.[4] Cook replaced Nedum Onuoha as an 87th-minute substitute to make his home debut in a 4–2 home defeat to Chelsea on 1 February 2011,[5] but did not feature again until the final match of the 2010–11 season, a 3–0 away win over West Ham United as a 72nd-minute substitute for Asamoah Gyan.[6]

After failing to make an appearance for Sunderland during the 2011–12 season,[7] it was announced that Cook was amongst nine players released by the club.[8]

Loan spells

Darlington

Cook joined League Two club Darlington on loan on 18 August 2009,[9] before making his debut in a 1–0 home defeat to Crewe Alexandra on the same day, but was replaced after 58 minutes by Jeff Smith.[10] His loan spell with Darlington was cut short after sustaining cruciate knee ligament damage.[11]

Walsall

On 24 March 2011, Cook signed for League One club Walsall on loan until the end of the 2010–11 season,[12] before making his debut a day later in a 1–1 draw with Milton Keynes Dons.[13] He scored one goal during his loan spell in a 3–2 home win over Brentford,[14][15] and went on to make eight appearances for Walsall.[16]

Carlisle United

Cook joined Carlisle United on 16 January 2012 on a one-month loan deal.[17] After making four appearances during his initial loan deal, Cook's loan spell was extended by a further month until 10 March 2012.[18] He completed his second loan spell by scoring Carlisle's first goal in a 4–1 home win over Bury,[19] before returning to the club for a third loan spell on 22 March 2012.[20] However, under the emergency loan rule, Cook's loan would expire after the penultimate match of the season against Exeter City.[21] Five days later, Cook scored a brace to help Carlisle come from behind to secure a 2–1 away win over Milton Keynes Dons.[22] He went on to complete his emergency loan having made 14 appearances and scored four goals.[7]

Charlton Athletic

Cook signed a two-year contract with newly promoted Championship club Charlton Athletic on 9 July 2012.[23] He made his debut in a 1–1 draw with Leyton Orient in the League Cup first round on 14 August 2012,[24] before making his league debut for Charlton in another 1–1 draw with Birmingham City four days later as a 77th-minute substitute for Bradley Wright-Phillips.[25] He made six further league appearances and one FA Cup appearance during the 2012–13 season.[26] Cook began the 2013–14 season by being named in the starting lineup as Charlton defeated Oxford United 4–0 in the League Cup first round.[27] However, his first-team opportunities were limited, as he went on to make just three league appearances and one FA Cup appearance.[28]

On 22 May 2014, it was announced Cook would be released following the expiration of his Charlton contract.[29]

Yeovil Town (loan)

On 18 March 2013, Cook joined League One club Yeovil Town on a one-month loan deal.[30] One day later, he made his debut as a 61st-minute substitute for Gavin Williams in a 2–0 home defeat to Swindon Town.[31] However, a knee injury meant he returned to parent club Charlton for treatment and made no further appearances for Yeovil.[32]

Return to Walsall

On 7 July 2014, Cook returned to League One club Walsall and signed a two-year contract, having previously been on loan with the club for two months during 2011.[33] He made his first appearance since his return in a 1–1 draw with Bristol City on 4 October 2014, coming on as a 34th-minute substitute for the injured Tom Bradshaw.[34] One week later, he scored the opening goal, his first since April 2012 in a 2–1 away defeat to Oldham Athletic.[35][36] Cook scored a brace to help Walsall come from behind to secure a 3–1 home win over Barnsley on 13 December 2014.[37] He scored his fourth goal of the season on 7 February 2015 during a 2–0 away win over Doncaster Rovers after only three minutes.[38] On 14 April 2015, Cook came off the bench as a 72nd-minute substitute for Tom Bradshaw to score his fifth goal of the season in stoppage time during a 5–0 home win over Crawley Town.[39] Cook also featured in every Football League Trophy match,[40] which saw Walsall reach the final of the competition, only to be defeated 2–0 by Bristol City at Wembley Stadium on 22 March 2015.[41] During the 2014–15 season, Cook made a total of 39 appearances in all competitions.[40]

Cook was named in the starting lineup for a 1–1 draw with Oldham Athletic on the opening day of the 2015–16 season, but was replaced in the 66th-minute by Milan Lalkovič.[42] Thereafter, he assumed the role of a substitute, making 36 of his 44 appearances from the bench.[43] However, he scored three times including a 93rd-minute goal, Walsall's third in a 3–1 away win over Shrewsbury Town,[44] prior to a brace in a 2–0 home win over Port Vale, after coming on as a 60th-minute substitute for Kieron Morris.[45] His contributions helped Walsall to qualify for the play-offs after a third-place finish in League One.[46] Cook featured in both semi-final legs as a substitute, scoring a late consolation goal in the second leg as Walsall suffered a 3–1 defeat to Barnsley and a 6–1 defeat on aggregate.[47]

Luton Town

On 5 July 2016, Cook signed a two-year contract with League Two club Luton Town after rejecting a new contract with Walsall.[48] He made his Luton debut on the opening day of the 2016–17 season in a 3–0 away win over Plymouth Argyle.[49] Cook scored his first goal for the club in a 4–1 home win over Wycombe Wanderers on 3 September 2016.[50]
