Jack Frank Porteous Cork (born 25 June 1989) is an English footballer who plays for Swansea City. He is a versatile player who normally plays in midfield, but can also play in defence. He is the son of former Wimbledon player and former Swansea City manager, Alan Cork. He has also featured for the Great Britain Olympic football team.
Cork joined the Chelsea youth set up age of nine, and captained both the club's youth and reserve teams.
During the 2006–07 season, Cork twice went on loan to Bournemouth. Cork was selected to go on Chelsea's pre-season tour of the United States in summer 2007. He made his first appearance for the first-team against Club América on 14 July. He played out-of-position at left-back for most of the tour.
Cork spent the 2007–08 season on loan at Scunthorpe United. After 35 appearances, despite Scunthorpe's ultimate relegation from the Football League Championship, he was voted the club's Player of the Year. His first league goals came for Scunthorpe, both against Coventry City; in a 1–1 away draw on 27 November 2007 and in a 2–1 home victory on 1 March 2008.
In August 2008, Cork joined Southampton on loan until 1 January 2009, after the Saints beat off reportedly stiff competition from both Sheffield Wednesday and Aberdeen.
In January 2009, Cork joined Watford on loan until the end of the 2008–09 season. On 24 January 2009, Cork scored his first goal for Watford in a 4–3 victory over Crystal Palace in the 4th round of the FA Cup.
On 21 August 2009, Cork signed a new three-year contract with Chelsea and immediately signed for Coventry City on loan until the end of December 2009.
