Josh Cooper, born on 10 December 2002 (age 23), is a Scottish attacking midfielder whose senior career has been shaped mainly at Dunfermline Athletic. Wearing squad number 33, he has become a regular part of their first-team picture rather than a fringe name passing through.
His most productive league season came in 2024–25, when he scored four goals in 24 league appearances for Dunfermline. That gave him a clear foothold, and he has carried that on in 2025–26 with 22 league appearances and three goals. Across all competitions this season, he has made 31 appearances and scored six times, including three goals in the League Cup.
Cooper’s form in 2025–26 has been solid and consistent, which is usually more useful than being loudly discussed for a fortnight and then vanishing. Over two league seasons with Dunfermline, he has 46 appearances and seven goals, a fair reflection of his growing role in the side.
His career remains centred on Dunfermline Athletic: a developing Scottish midfielder, regularly involved, contributing goals, and still building a senior record with one club doing most of the heavy lifting.
