Cooper was a batsman and occasional leg-spin bowler. His best performance in the Plunket Shield came against Canterbury in the 1927–28 season, when he scored 40 and 80 (the highest score on either side) and took a wicket.[3] He was twelfth man for New Zealand in the unofficial Test in Auckland against Australia a few weeks later, but played no first-class cricket after that.[4][2]
