In January 2017 Cooke joined League Two side Crewe Alexandra on loan.[5] He made his professional debut on 4 February 2017 in a 4–0 defeat away at Exeter City,[6] then scored on his home debut in a 5–0 win over Grimsby Town on 11 February.[7] On 9 May 2017, Crewe announced that Cooke would be returning to his parent club.[8]

On 18 July 2017, Cooke joined League One club Blackpool on loan until the end of the season.[9]

Peterborough United

On 30 July 2018, Cooke signed for League One side Peterborough United on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[10]

He was transfer-listed by Peterborough United at the end of the 2018–19 season.[11] He moved on loan to Bradford City in August 2019 for the 2019–20 season.[12][13] His loan expired on 1 May 2020.[14]

Bradford City

In September 2023, it was announced that Cooke would be ruled out for several months due to an ankle injury sustained in training.[22] However, he returned to the Hartlepool side sooner than expected in November 2023 and was praised by Pools manager John Askey upon his return to the side.[23] Cooke provided all three assists in a 3–1 away win against York City early in his return to action.[24] He was released by Hartlepool United at the end of the 2023–24 season having made 76 appearances in his two seasons with the club, scoring 11 times.[25][26]
