Early life

Cork was born in Carshalton, London.[4] He is the son of former footballer and manager Alan Cork.[5]

Career

Chelsea

Cork joined the Chelsea youth system up age of nine, and captained both the club's youth and reserve teams.[6] During the 2006–07 season, Cork twice went on loan to League One club AFC Bournemouth.[7] Cork was selected to go on Chelsea's pre-season tour of the United States in summer 2007. He made his first appearance for the first team against Club América on 14 July. He played out-of-position at left back for most of the tour.[8]

Cork spent the 2007–08 season on loan at newly promoted Championship club Scunthorpe United. His first league goals came for Scunthorpe, both against Coventry City; in a 1–1 away draw on 27 November 2007[9] and in a 2–1 home victory on 1 March 2008.[10] After 35 appearances,[9] despite Scunthorpe's relegation from the Championship,[11] he was voted the club's Player of the Year.[12]

On 21 August 2008, Cork joined Championship club Southampton on loan until 1 January 2009.[13] In January 2009, Cork joined Championship club Watford on loan until the end of the 2008–09 season.[14] He scored his first goal for Watford on 24 January 2009 in a 4–3 victory over Crystal Palace in the fourth round of the FA Cup.[15] Cork signed a new three-year contract with Chelsea on 21 August 2009 and immediately joined Championship club Coventry City on loan until the end of December 2009.[16][17]

On 1 February 2010, Cork joined Premier League club Burnley on loan until the end of the 2009–10 season.[18] He made his first appearance for Burnley in a 3–0 defeat away to Fulham on his Premier League debut.[19] He then played in a 5–2 defeat against Aston Villa on 21 February 2010 and assisted Burnley's second goal.[20] Cork scored his first goal for Burnley on 9 May 2010 in a 4–2 home win over Tottenham Hotspur, with a diving header to score Burnley's second to turn over a two-goal lead.[21] His father revealed the day before in a local newspaper, the Lancashire Telegraph, that Cork was looking to leave Chelsea in the summer and was willing to drop down into the Championship in order to do so.[22]

On 8 August 2010, Chelsea said that they would allow Cork to leave the club and were looking for offers of around £2 million.[23] On 12 August, Cork re-joined Burnley on loan for the 2010–11 season.[24] Cork scored a last minute winner at home to Derby County on 27 November, taking Burnley into the play-off positions.[25]

Southampton

Cork playing for Southampton in 2013

On 7 July 2011, Cork signed for newly promoted Championship club Southampton, after they agreed an undisclosed fee with Chelsea.[26] Cork ended the 2011–12 season as the only Southampton player who appeared in every league match,[27][28] as the club earned promotion to the Premier League as runners-up in the Championship.[29]

Cork missed Southampton's opening fixtures of the 2012–13 Premier League, due to an ankle injury, sustained against Bristol City in a friendly and a League Cup victory over Sheffield Wednesday.[30] On 26 August 2014, he scored his first goal for Southampton in a 2–0 away victory over Millwall in the second round of the League Cup.[31]

He scored his first league goal for the club in a 4–0 home win over Newcastle United on 13 September 2014[32] and his second and final league goal for the club came in an 8–0 home win over Sunderland on 18 October.[33]

Swansea City

Cork signed for Southampton's Premier League rivals Swansea City on 30 January 2015 on a three-and-a-half-year contract,[34] for a fee "believed to be in the region of £3 million".[35] On 25 April 2015, he scored his first goal for Swansea in a 3–2 away win over Newcastle United.[36]

Over a year after his first goal for the club, on 1 May 2016, he scored his second, with a 20-yard curling shot in a 3–1 home victory over Liverpool.[37] This victory helped secure Swansea's Premier League status for the 2016–17 season.[38]

Burnley

Cork returned to Premier League club Burnley on 11 July 2017 on a four-year contract, for fee reported to be in the region of £8 million, rising to £10 million with add-ons.[39][40] He scored his first goal on his return to Burnley in an EFL Cup tie against Blackburn Rovers on 23 August 2017.[41] His first Premier League goal for Burnley came against his former club Swansea City in a 2–0 win on 18 November. That goal ended a run of 43 appearances without a goal for the player.[42]

On 16 August 2018, he scored the winning goal in Burnley's 1–0 victory over İstanbul Başakşehir in the Europa League qualifiers.[43]

On 20 June 2022, following relegation to the Championship, Cork signed a new two-year contract with the club.[44]

International career

England

Cork has represented England at many youth levels, making his under-19 debut against the Czech Republic in May 2007.[45] He captained the England U19 squad to make the 2008 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, and was part of the under-21 squad at the 2011 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.[46]

On 7 November 2017, Cork was called into the England squad for friendly matches against Germany and Brazil.[47] He made his debut on 10 November 2017 as an 86th-minute substitute in a 0–0 draw against Germany at Wembley Stadium.[48]

Great Britain Olympic team

On 2 July 2012, Cork was named in Stuart Pearce's 18-man Great Britain squad for the 2012 Summer Olympics.[49] He made his debut on 20 July in a 2–0 loss to Brazil in a pre-tournament friendly, coming on at half-time to replace Daniel Sturridge.[50] He played as a substitute in each of Great Britain's three group matches, and was an unused substitute as the team were knocked out by South Korea in the quarter-final.[51]
