Andy Cook has notched up 0 goals in appearances for Bradford City so far in his senior career. However, Andy Cook does have some international experience having represented England at youth level from 2009-2011 inclusive.

Andy Cook is 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighs 102 kilograms - this makes him an imposing figure on the pitch and one that opponents will need to be wary of when playing against him.

Andy Cooke's biggest strength as a footballer may well be his ability to hold up the ball and keep possession which can result in opportunities being created for others later on down the field- even if he doesn’t score himself.

Bradford City are currently battling relegation from League One but with players such as Andy Cooke they could still cause some problems for teams above them should they pick up their form again soon enough.
