Jake S. Cole (born 11 September 1985) is an English footballer who plays for Barnet as a goalkeeper.
Career
Cole was the number 2 keeper at QPR for a long time, being understudy to Nick Culkin, Chris Day, Paul Jones, Simon Royce and Lee Camp, but was praised by John Gregory as being a model professional. On the few occasions Cole was called in due to injury or suspension, he performed well, making few mistakes and some good saves. Towards the end of the 2006–07 season he became first choice keeper after Lee Camp was recalled from his loan spell to Derby County.
Cole made a number of notable saves for Queens Park Rangers, including a vital stop against Celtic, a video of which is on the video sharing website YouTube. [1]. The ball, which was struck by experienced Dutch forward Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, went flying in the direction of the near post only for Cole to dive down to his right and keep QPR in it. QPR went on to lose the game.
Cole had been given the number 12 jersey for the 2007–08 season, indicating that John Gregory would be signing a number one keeper before the start of the season, with rumours focusing on the permanent signing of Lee Camp. Camp was then signed therefore limiting Cole's first team opportunities; however Cole continued to impress for Rangers' second string with manager John Gregory saying in 2007, "I have been impressed by Jake's overall attitude and ability. He is a fantastic understudy to Lee Camp."[1]
Cole slipped further down the pecking order at QPR following the signing of Radek Černý in the summer of 2008.[2] He was loaned to the Conference National side Oxford United for three months on July 11, 2008.[2] In March 2009 he joined Barnet on loan.
He was released by QPR on May 19 2009. However, he was soon snapped up by Barnet on a one year deal on 6 July 2009.
