Josh Cooper, born on 10 December 2002 (age 23), is a Scottish central attacking midfielder whose senior career has been shaped almost entirely at Dunfermline Athletic. Wearing squad number 33, he has become a steady first-team presence rather than a fringe name passing through the place.
His best league return came in 2024–25, when he scored four goals in 24 appearances for Dunfermline. Across two seasons with the club, he has made 46 league appearances and scored seven league goals, which gives a fairer sense of his role than any neat label would.
In 2025–26, Cooper has remained involved, with 22 Championship appearances and three league goals, plus four Scottish Cup games, one cup goal and two Premiership play-off appearances. Across all competitions for Dunfermline Athletic, he has made 28 appearances and scored four goals this season.
His market value is around £149,000, according to Transfermarkt. At this stage, Cooper’s career is a Dunfermline one: regular minutes, modest output, and a clear place in the current side.
