Career

Youth football

Cochrane attended Kirklandpark Primary in Strathaven [1] and later studied at Grange Academy, Kilmarnock where he was part of the Scottish Football Association Performance School. [2] Cochrane began his football career with Rangers, before transferring to Heart of Midlothian at under-13 level. [3]

Heart of Midlothian

In June 2017 Cochrane signed a professional contract with Heart of Midlothian, which committed him to the club until 2020. [4] The following month he played in all four of the first team's pre season friendlies, [5] netting in a 4–1 win against Linfield. [6] [7] On 15 August 2017, Cochrane played for Hearts Under-20s in the Scottish Challenge Cup against Formartine United. [8] He made his first team debut [9] for Hearts, aged 16, [10] on 30 September 2017, playing from the start in a 2–1 defeat against Dundee at Dens Park. [11] In doing so he became the first Scottish Football Association Performance School graduate to start a Scottish Premiership game. [12]

Cochrane scored the opening goal in Hearts' 4–0 win over Celtic on 17 December 2017, [13] a result that ended Celtic's 69-game unbeaten run in domestic matches. [14] In doing so he became the club's youngest league goalscorer. [15] The following week he was sent off in a match against St Johnstone for a second bookable offence. [16] In April 2018, Cochrane signed a new contract with Hearts, which ran until 2021. [17]

Dunfermline loan

Cochrane, along with Hearts teammate Anthony McDonald, moved on a season-long loan to Scottish Championship side Dunfermline Athletic on 30 August 2019. [18]

Montrose loan

On 30 October 2020, Cochrane joined Scottish League One club Montrose on loan until January 2021. [19] The loan agreement was later extended to the end of the season. [20]

In April 2021, it was announced that Cochrane was set to leave Hearts at the end of the season following the expiration of his contract. [21]

Queen of the South

On 24 July 2021, Cochrane signed a two-year deal with Scottish Championship club Queen of the South after a successful trial period. [22] [23]

On 24 May 2023, Cochrane signed a contract extension with the Doonhamers until 31 May 2025. [24]

During September 2023, Cochrane was appointed Queens new club captain, after Josh Todd decided to concentrate more on his own playing performances.

International career

He was a member of the Scotland under-16 Victory Shield squad. [3] He was called up to represent Scotland at under-17 level in October 2017, [25] however was withdrawn from the squad by Hearts manager Craig Levein, as he felt the "experience of being involved and perhaps playing in the first team at this minute in his career is more valuable than playing an international game." [26]
