Scout report
A. Cook is a 35-year-old centre-forward at Bradford, rated 7.9 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (10.2% of available minutes). He brings 0.41 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.41 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cook.
On the season, Cook graded 4 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals and 1 assist in 8 appearances (0.409 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 26 → 4). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 8. At 35 Cook is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Cook missed 5 games through injury (cruciate ligament) out of roughly 48 this season. The 8 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Bradford finished 4th of 24 · an upper-table side
0 goals in 8 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 1 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.41 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.41 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 10.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 7.9 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.41 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
