Cole played 281 games for Chelsea scoring 40 times from midfield and won seven trophies including three league titles. He was named in the PFA Team of the Year in 2005/06 and also named the Chelsea Player of the Year in 2007/08.
In 2010, he left Chelsea upon the expiry of his contract to join Liverpool and that was the start of the fall for Cole. He was one of the infamous signings of the short-lived Roy Hodgson era and was sent off on his league debut for the Reds.
He spent a season on loan at Lille while he was contracted to Liverpool before joining West Ham permanently in January 2013. He went on to play for Aston Villa and later for Coventry City in the League One before moving to the US in 2016.
Cole joined American lower division club Tampa Bay Rowdies after leaving England and he still plays for the club. In 2018, he also took over as the club’s assistant manager.
