Darren Cole (born 3 January 1992) is a Scottish footballer who play as a defender who most recently played for Livingston. He has previously played for Rangers, Partick Thistle and Greenock Morton.
Cole signed a two-year contract extension with Rangers on 2 December 2010 and made his first-team debut five days later against Turkish side Bursaspor in Rangers' final 2010–11 UEFA Champions League group match, which ended 1–1. Cole's performance was praised by manager Walter Smith.
Cole did not feature in the Rangers first team under Ally McCoist during the 2011–12 season. He was loaned to Partick Thistle in early January.
Cole suffered ankle ligament damage in January 2013, which was expected to rule him out for the remainder of the 2012–13 season. He did make an appearance in the final game of the season, against Berwick Rangers. Cole had his contract with Rangers terminated on 28 August 2013, after he failed to report for a reserve team friendly game with junior club Cambuslang Rangers.
On 27 December 2013, Cole signed for Greenock Morton until the end of the season. He left Morton in the summer of 2014 after just six-months at the club.
On 20 February 2015, Cole signed for Scottish Championship club Livingston until the end of the 2014–15 season. After impressing in his first season at Livingston, he not only won a new contract, but also was named captain for the season 2015–16. Following the clubs relegation to League One, Cole was released from his contract on 15 July 2016.
