Cope was born at Hastings in Sussex. He played 11 times for Kent County Cricket Club's Second XI in the Minor Counties Championship between 1924 and 1925 and made one first-class cricket appearance for the First XI against Gloucestershire in the 1924 County Championship at Mote Park, Maidstone, taking one wicket.[1][2] He was later given a trial at Warwickshire but was considered "temperamentally unsuited to a cricket career" by the county.[1]

He died at Dartford in Kent in 1986 aged 81.[3]
