Gill's praise for frontman Cooke as he bring up 50 for Bath City

Boss Jerry Gill heaped praise on half century-maker Cody Cooke – as he brought up 50 goals in Bath City colours.

The clinical frontman netted the winner as the Romans sealed all three points in National League South, with a 1-0 victory at Weston-super-Mare last time out. 

Cooke arrived at Twerton Park in June 2021, following his release from Weymouth. 

5?0? goals and counting.

Another milestone for our Number 9 ??

The former Truro City and St Mirren striker has gone on to bring up his 50 goals in 98 appearances for Gill’s side. 

“His goal was a wonderful striker’s finish,” the manager told Bath City’s official Youtube channel, following his side’s success against the Seagulls.  

“I think that’s a goal every two-and-a-half games or something – wonderful record that is. 

“We knew he would be that for us. Hopefully he gets on a nice little run.”

Bath are now ninth in the National South table, having picked up 44 points from 28 games played. They host 22nd-placed Eastbourne Borough on Saturday.
