Career
Brentford
Cole began his youth career at Brentford and was a part of the U15 team which emerged victorious in the Junior category at the 2012 Milk Cup.[4] He made 8 appearances for the U18 team before signing a scholarship deal at the end of the 2013–14 season.[5][6][7] He made 32 appearances and scored seven goals during his two-year scholarship and increasingly became part of the Development Squad during the 2015–16 season,[8][9] progressing sufficiently to sign a professional contract in February 2016.[4] Cole was an unused substitute for a number of late-season first team matches in April 2016.[10]
Whilst a regular for the B team, Cole received sporadic calls into the first team squad during the 2016–17 season before making his senior debut as a late substitute for Nico Yennaris in a 3–2 victory over Nottingham Forest on 7 March 2017.[11] One month later, he signed a new three-year contract.[12] Cole won further attention with long-range goals in pre-season friendly wins over Aldershot Town and Oxford United in July 2017,[13][14] before departing on loan for the first half of the 2017–18 season on 10 August.[15] A knee injury cut short the loan in late September and he returned to match play with the B team in December,[16] but did not win any further calls into the first team squad before the end of the season.[17] In July 2018, Cole left Griffin Park on loan for the duration of the 2018–19 season,[18] but was recalled on 24 August 2018.[19]
Newport County (loan)
On 10 August 2017, Cole joined League Two club Newport County on loan until January 2018.[15] He made his debut versus Coventry City 9 days later and scored the first senior goal of his career with the only goal of the game.[20] Cole made four further appearances and returned to Brentford in late September 2017 after suffering a knee injury,[21] though the loan officially continued until it expired on 1 January 2018.[16]
Yeovil Town (loan)
On 27 July 2018, Cole joined League Two club Yeovil Town on loan for the duration of the 2018–19 season.[22] He made two appearances before his loan was cancelled by mutual consent on 24 August 2018.[23]
Personal life
Cole attended Chalfonts Community College.[24]
