Brayden Cook

Brayden Cook (born 18 July 2002) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Adelaide in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Cook was born in Mount Barker, his family moved to Woodcroft when he was 2. He attended Reynella East College and played his junior career with Happy Valley in the Southern Football League. Cook grew up supporting Adelaide in the AFL.

Cook was drafted by Adelaide with pick 25 in the 2020 national draft. He made his debut in round 21 2021 against Port Adelaide and played the final three games of the season. Cook kicked a crucial goal in Adelaide's comeback Showdown win against Port Adelaide in 2022. Cook did not breakout until 2024, when he kicked a career-high three goals against North Melbourne at Bellerive Oval. He became one of the Crows' premier small forwards as Izak Rankine made a move to the midfield.

The start to the 2026 AFL season was electric for Cook, who displayed strong performances of kicking efficiency while playing across half-back and on a wing. He was nominated for Goal of the Year in round 6 for his score from the pocket against St Kilda. Two weeks later, Cook kicked the match-winning goal for the Crows with 12 seconds remaining in the Showdown against Port Adelaide in round 8, etching himself into club folklore.

Updated to the end of round 15, 2026.
