In January 2017 Cooke joined League Two side Crewe Alexandra on loan.

[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]
