Grimsby Town have signed Andy Cook on a one-year deal after a successful loan spell. The 35-year-old striker has credited his loan move to Grimsby Town in January for reigniting his love for football.

What happened?

Cook had been at Bradford City for five years before joining Grimsby Town on loan, and he has now made the move permanent. He made 25 appearances for Town in all competitions during his loan spell, with nine goal contributions.

Why it matters for Grimsby

The signing is a boost for Grimsby Town, who finished 7th in League Two with 78 points, 22 wins, 12 draws, and 12 losses from 46 games. They scored 74 goals and conceded 50, with a recent form of DLDWW. Cook's experience and goal-scoring ability will be valuable assets to the team.

What comes next?

Cook has expressed his desire to help the team improve on their recent form, which included a 2-2 draw against Salford City on May 15, 2026. With the team 9 points behind leaders Bromley, Cook's signing is a positive step towards a stronger season ahead. As Grimsby Town looks to build on their recent performances, Cook's love for the game has been rekindled, and he is determined to make a difference.
