Club career

Cockerill-Mollett came through the Walsall youth team and signed a two-year professional contract in August 2016.[2] He made his first team debut in a 5–2 win over Grimsby Town in an EFL Trophy group stage match at Bescot Stadium on 30 August 2016.[3]

At the end of the 2016–17 season, Cockerill-Mollett was shortlisted for the League One Apprentice of the Year award[4] but lost out to Scunthorpe United's Lewis Butroid. He was, however, named Walsall's Apprentice of the Year and helped the club's Development Squad win the Walsall Senior Cup and Central League North West Division title.[5]

On 15 September 2018, Cockerill-Mollett joined Telford United on a one-month youth loan.[6]

Cockerill-Mollett subsequently joined Chasetown on a 3-month loan deal.[7] and scored on his league debut.[8]

His contract was extended for 12 months by Walsall at the end of the 2018–19 season.[9]

International career

Cockerill-Mollett was called up to the Republic of Ireland U18s squad for the first time for the Slovakia Cup Tournament in April 2017.[10] He made four appearances in the competition, making his debut as a substitute against Czech Republic[11] before starting against Russia[12] and Turkey[13] and coming off the bench for their defeat to host-nation Slovakia.[14]
