The inclusion of Terence Scerri in the Hibernians first team for the 2003–04 season helped him to really start to show his attacking prowess. The pair started to play together regularly, which turned out to be the start of a devastating strike partnership. Hibernians went on to finish one place better than the previous season, in third position. Cohen made 23 appearances and scored seven goals during the season. Cohen’s good form had not gone unnoticed as he also received his first cap for Maltese national team during the season.
