Burnley

On 3 October 2024, Burnley announced the return of Cork as an assistant manager/player for their Under-21s. "I missed it when I was away for a month or so and it's nice to be back in the environment and be back involved in football," Cork stated. On his role as a player/coach at youth levels, he noted, "I'm not sure how fit I'll be but maybe when the fixtures pile up ... maybe for 15 minutes or so, I can come on and play certain parts of the game to help that player see how someone with my experience would be able to cope in that role."

Cork was born in Carshalton, London on 25 June 1989. He is the son of former footballer and manager Alan Cork.
