Career
Cox started his career in the youth team ranks at Port Vale. He was handed the number 23 shirt for the 2010–11 season, making his debut in a 2–1 defeat at Crewe Alexandra on 15 January 2011 under new manager Jim Gannon. Three months later caretaker manager Mark Grew announced that Cox would not be offered a contract at the club for the following season. He then spent a brief spell with Northern Premier League Division One South club Ilkeston, and scored in the new club's first competitive match in a 4–0 victory over Goole. However, he played just three more times before he left the club in September 2011 to look for a club that offered full-time training. He played for New Mills of the Northern Premier League Division One North in 2012. He signed with Northern Premier League Division One South side Gresley in February 2013 after a spell with Hyde reserves, and made six appearances before leaving in June of that year.
