Leeds United have secured the signature of Robbie Cook, a promising talent from the Perth Glory academy, as announced by the EFL Championship club.
The “highly-regarded and in-demand” teenage goalkeeper has penned a two-and-a-half-year professional contract with Leeds, extending until 2027, as he prepares to join their academy setup.

At just 18 years old, Cook has represented Australia at the Under-17 and Under-20 youth international levels. Although he departs from Glory without having made a senior appearance, he did feature in the Isuzu UTE A-League matchday squad on two occasions last season and was named among the substitutes during a 2023 Australia Cup match.
“Everyone at Leeds United extends a warm welcome to Robbie as he joins the club, and we are excited to observe his growth in the future,” the club stated in an official announcement.
