The box-to-box midfielder becomes the first new arrival at Harrison Drive this summer as head coach Nathan Rooney commences his squad strengthening for the 2020/21 season.

Undoubtedly Cooke, who has spent the last four years at Fleetwood since joining as a 14-year-old, could have had his pick of clubs but chose Colne as the perfect fit for the next stage of his development.

Rooney told https://www.colnefootballclub.com: “I’m delighted to have Jamie on board. He has everything in his locker as a midfielder; strength, aggression, assists and importantly goals.

“No doubt Jamie will play at a higher level in time. He could have gone anywhere, but he trusts my vision and that of the Football Club”

Chairman Ryan Haigh added: “Jamie was one of Nathan’s major targets this season, so to get him in quickly is a big boost to our planning. We’ve been missing this kind of player since Alex left for Stockport and I believe the fans will love his competitive nature”.
