Cox played 16 games for Fitzroy between 1980 and 1983 before joining the Demons. The utility player had been set to join Essendon, but they didn't want to pay the Lions' asking price.
Cox injured his hamstring on debut, then again when returning through the Reserves. He didn't play seniors again until Round 20, was suspended for two games the next week, and nearly left in early 1985 when work commitments clashed with pre-season training. He played eight games that year, but a serious shoulder dislocation in an early 1986 Reserves game meant he didn't play seniors again after Round 2.
After 13 games in three seasons, Cox joined the new formed Brisbane Bears in 1987. He was knocked out early in his only game for them, injured his ankle in a QAFL game, hurt his knee on return from that, and was dropped from Brisbane's list in the 1988 pre-season.
