Bradford
Cook signed from Saracens F.C. (RU) in late 2003.
In 2005, Cook made several appearances off the bench and was expected to cement a first team spot in 2006.
In 2006 Cook started off well and even got the Man-of-the-Match award for his display in the home game against Hull in the Challenge Cup. Unfortunately this was his last appearance for over 3 months due to a shoulder injury and Cook didn't make his comeback until the back end of the season were he finished the year with a flourish of games.
In 2007 Cook established a regular bench spot and made his first starting game against Leeds in the very controversial Millennium Magic match. Unfortunately Cook was ruled out for another 3 months due to an injury to his wrist, but like the year before he managed to come back to finish the season with another string of games off the bench.
In 2008 Cook played four games of the bench during the Easter period before going to Castleford on loan. His loan was short lived when he got called back after just one month and he finished the season strong at Bradford by gaining a regular bench spot and starting four consecutive games.
