Gateshead FC is delighted to confirm the signing of Joe Cook on a free transfer until the end of the 2023/24 season.

The central defender arrives on Tyneside after recently departing fellow Vanarama National League side Dorking Wanderers, for whom he made 14 league appearances this season.

The 24-year-old also spent time on loan with National League South side Weymouth earlier in the current campaign, making nine appearances and scoring once before returning to Meadowbank.
