Joshua Jacob Dacres-Cogley (born 12 March 1996), sometimes referred to as Josh Cogley, is an English professional footballer who plays as a full back for EFL League One club Bolton Wanderers.

He spent ten years with Birmingham City, making 30 first-team appearances, including 23 in the Championship, and had a loan spell with Crawley Town of League Two in the 2019–20 season.

[13] Ahead of the 2015–16 season, he was one of three youngsters – the others were Dom Bernard and Wes Harding – who began their pre-season training with the first team,[14] and he impressed enough to be included in first-team friendlies.

[18] With Jonathan Spector suspended and Paul Caddis injured,[19] he made his first Football League appearance on 26 November, starting the visit to Brentford at right back.

Birmingham won 2–1, and Rowett praised Dacres-Cogley's performance, saying "he played with a lot of composure at times, showed good energy, got through the game in terms of his athleticism and fitness.

[23] The arrival of several defensive players during the 2017 summer transfer window pushed Dacres-Cogley down the pecking order, and his first appearance of the new season did not come until December, starting in central defence in a 1–0 loss to Fulham.

[22] After playing in Birmingham's EFL Cup defeat at Portsmouth on 6 August, Dacres-Cogley signed a one-year contract extension and joined League Two club Crawley Town on loan to the end of the 2019–20 season.

[29][30] Dacres-Cogley made his first league appearance for Birmingham for nearly two years when he started at right back and was involved in the build-up to the opening goal in the 2–1 win away to Preston North End on 31 October 2020.
