Overview
- Grimsby confirmed the 35-year-old forward has signed a one-year permanent contract after joining on loan from Bradford City in January.
- Cook scored seven League Two goals in 22 appearances for Grimsby during the loan and made 25 appearances in all competitions with nine goal contributions overall.
- The club signed Cook on a free transfer after his Bradford contract expired and presented him as their first summer signing under manager David Artell.
- Cook returned from a serious ACL injury before his loan and says his spell at Grimsby helped him regain his enjoyment of the game.
- A veteran striker with more than 200 career league goals and a prior Grimsby spell (2012–14), Cook is expected to lead the attack next season and his form will be a key factor in Artell’s push to improve on last year’s play-off finish.
