Josh Cooper, born on 10 December 2002 (age 23), is a Scottish central attacking midfielder whose senior career has been shaped chiefly by Dunfermline Athletic. Wearing squad number 33, he has become a regular part of their first-team picture rather than a passing name on the teamsheet.
Across three league seasons with Dunfermline, Cooper has made 46 league appearances and scored seven league goals. His most productive campaign came in 2024-25, when he scored four times in 24 league matches, giving his role a bit more substance than the usual attacking-midfield promise.
He has remained relevant in 2025-26, with 22 league appearances and three goals, alongside useful cup involvement: four League Cup games with two goals, four Scottish Cup appearances with one goal, and two Premiership play-off appearances. Across all competitions for Dunfermline that season, he has made 32 appearances and scored six goals.
His market value is around £149,000, according to Transfermarkt. Cooper’s career to this point is a Dunfermline story: a developing Scottish midfielder with regular minutes, some end product, and a clear place in the current side.
