Career

Michael Cooper made his professional debut in a League One game away to Blackburn Rovers. With starting goalkeeper Kyle Letheren going off injured, Cooper came on for the second half, as the game finished 1–1.[4][5][6] He was also a key member of the Plymouth Argyle Youth Team who reached the last 16 of the FA Youth Cup, making crucial saves in victories over Manchester City and Burnley in 3rd and 4th rounds of the competition.

Michael Cooper is now set to be Plymouth Argyle's second choice goalkeeper, following a recent loan of Alex Palmer from West Bromwich Albion and Kyle Letheren being released.

On 17 December 2019, Cooper signed a new long-term deal at Plymouth Argyle, until the end of the 2021/22 season.[7]

On the 28th July 2020 Luke McCormick was re-signed by the club to provide competition with Cooper for Plymouth Argyle's first-team goalkeeper position. [8]

gollark: Not really. They could have table.copy but they don't.
