Bob Wright signed Cook on his return to Ashton Gate in December 1949 for Bristol City.〔 Frank Coombes was replaced as Bristol City goalkeeper in January 1950 by Syd Morgan who himself had been discovered playing in the Downs League in Bristol.〔 〕 In 1950–51, Morgan contested the goalkeeping position with Con Sullivan who had joined from local Bristol side Horfield Old Boys six months before Cook. Sullivan was ever present in 1951–52.〔 Cook finally got his chance after both Sullivan and Morgan had been tried in 1952–53.

The following 1956–57 season, Cook began the season in goal making 21 appearances with Anderson finishing the season in the team.〔 Cook made only 7 appearances in 1957–58 as Bristol City slipped to 17th in the table. Anderson started 1958–59 as first choice but Cook made 37 appearances and played in the fourth round FA Cup ties against Blackpool when the "Robins" lost 0–1 in a replay. Cook gained a reputation as a saver of penalties and saved six of the nine penalties he faced in 1958–59.〔 Cook was ever present in the relegation season 1959–60 when Bristol City finished 22nd and bottom of the Second Division. Cook made 45 appearances in 1960–61 and in all six FA Cup ties as Bristol City lost 1–5 in the fourth round at Leicester City.〔 Cook was the regular keeper in 1961–62 making 40 appearances as Bristol City finished sixth in the Third Division.
