Devante Cole (born 10 May 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays for Barnsley, on loan from Manchester City, as a striker.

Early and personal life

Cole was born in Alderley Edge on 10 May 1995 and is the son of the English former professional footballer and coach Andy Cole.[2][3] However, he has stated that he is a different type of player from his father, who played in the same position.[1] Devante Cole's paternal grandparents migrated to England from Jamaica in the 1960s.[4]

Club career

Manchester City

Cole joined Manchester City in April 2003 at the age of seven,[2][3] having previously spent a day training with city rivals Manchester United.[3] Cole's first involvement with the Manchester City first team was in July 2013 when he was selected for a pre-season friendly tour of South Africa, subsequently playing against SuperSport United.[2]

He was linked with a loan move to Scottish club Motherwell in August 2014.[5]

Loan to Barnsley

On 19 August 2014, Cole signed on loan for Barnsley until 5 January 2015.[6] He made his professional debut the same day, appearing as a substitute in a League One game away to Coventry City.[7]

International career

Cole has represented England at under-16, under-17, under-18, and under-19 levels.[8]

Cole made his debut for the England under-19 team on 5 March 2014 in a friendly match against Turkey, starting the game and scoring the opening goal.[9] On 29 May 2014, he made a further appearance from the start in a European Championship elite qualification match against Ukraine, which England lost to a deflected 94th-minute strike that eliminated them from the final tournament.[10][11]
