The
29-year-old is also the goalkeeping coach at The Row.
Cooper
moved to England in November 2021 to take up the post of head of goalkeeping at
the International Development Academy in Reading, a full-time academy for 15 to
23-year-olds.
Cooper
was regarded as one of the best keepers in Bermuda.
He
helped X-Roads to promotion in his first season with the club in 2016/17 and
then transferred to Bermudan Athletic Association for the 2021/22 season with a
view to making a bigger impact as a coach.
Cooper
went to Scotland in September 2021 to take the revamped C licence course under
the Scottish Football Association. He first took the C licence course a few
years ago and it was there that the link to the academy in Reading was made.
Cooper,
a goalkeeper coach for the Bermuda national teams, also runs the Bermuda
Goalkeeping Academy, which he hopes to keep going during visits back to the
island.
