Career

[edit]

Bury

[edit]

Cooney was born in Manchester, Greater Manchester.[5] He joined Bury at the age of nine, progressing through the club's youth academy and being made captain of the youth team.[6] Cooney was promoted to the first-team squad in the 2016–17 season while still a scholar because of injuries.[7] He made his debut on 26 August 2017, playing against Rochdale in a League One match which ended 0–0.[8] He signed a two-year professional contract with the club in October 2018.[6] He made a total of 29 appearances in all competitions having been given the opportunity of first team football by manager Ryan Lowe.[9] He got used to spending time around older, more experienced players and he adapted on and off the pitch.[9] Despite gaining promotion from EFL League Two in the 2018–19 season, Bury's future looked bleak amid financial problems and Cooney was hoping for a move.[9]

Burnley

[edit]

Cooney signed for Premier League club Burnley on 15 July 2019 on a one-year contract with the option of a further year, initially joining the under-23 team.[10] In the first half of the season he was a regular part of Steve Stone's side and contributed towards a 17-match unbeaten run.[9] He became a part of Burnley's first-team bubble until the end of the 2019–20 season, along with a number of youngsters, following the return to football post-lockdown.[9] He was rewarded with a new one-year contract in June 2020.[11]

Morecambe (loan spells)

[edit]

On 2 January 2020, he was sent out on loan for the first time when he joined League Two side Morecambe until the end of the season along with Adam Phillips.[12] There was frustration in March 2020, as COVID-19 brought the loan to an abrupt halt as Cooney had been beginning to settle in and was playing and performing consistently.[9] Cooney and Phillips spoke during the lockdown and agreed that they would return to Morecambe if the opportunity arose in the following season, describing manager Derek Adams as a big influence.[9] On 11 August 2020, Cooney re-joined Morecambe on loan until the end of the season along with Phillips.[9] Morecambe made a good start to the season and were top of the league after five games with four wins.[13]

Morecambe

[edit]

On 24 June 2021, it was announced that Cooney had signed for Morecambe on a free transfer on a two-year deal after turning down the offer of a new contract at Burnley.[14] In May 2023, Cooney was one of 14 players released by Morecambe following their relegation to League Two.[15]

Crewe Alexandra

[edit]

On 23 June 2023, League Two side Crewe Alexandra announced the signing of Cooney on a two-year deal.[16][17] He made his Crewe debut at Gresty Road on 5 August 2023, coming on as an 81st minute substitute for Zac Williams in a 2–2 draw with Mansfield Town.[18] Cooney was sent off after a second yellow card in Crewe's 1–0 defeat at Port Vale in an EFL Trophy tie on 5 September 2023.[19] He scored his first Crewe goal (a penalty) in a 5–1 defeat of Liverpool U21s in an EFL Trophy group game at Gresty Road on 27 August 2024.[20]
