Chris Cook (born 16 April 1991) is an English rugby union player, who currently plays at scrum-half for Northampton Saints in Premiership Rugby.[1]

A product of the Bath Rugby academy, Cook made his Aviva Premiership debut as a substitute against Sale Sharks.[2] He spent the first half of the 2013-14 season playing for Bath's "A" team, before being loaned out to promotion hopefuls London Welsh.[3]

Cook returned to Bath for the 2014-15 season on a new one-year deal,[4] starting his first Premiership game in their second match of the season, against his former team London Welsh.[5] Cook scored the game's first try, and his first in a Premiership campaign, within two minutes.[6]

After 11 seasons playing for Bath, Cook announced he was leaving Bath to sign for local rivals Bristol Bears from the 2020-21 season.[7]

On 26 July 2021, Cook signs for Premiership rivals Northampton Saints on a short-term deal from the beginning of the 2021-22 season.[8]
