Club career

Sion

Cotter is a product of Sion. In the 2018–19 season, Cotter scored 11 goals in 26 for the under-18s. Aged 17, Cotter played with the Sion U21 in the Swiss Promotion League.[3] In the beginning of December 2019, 17-year old Cotter began training with the first team.[3]

He made his official and professional debut on 8 December 2019, against Basel in the Swiss Super League; Cotter started on the bench, and replaced Seydou Doumbia in the 59th minute.[4] He also came on from the bench in the following league game against Neuchâtel Xamax.

Juventus

In the beginning of January 2020, Cotter was officially sold to Italian side Juventus.[5] Cotter reportedly signed a deal until June 2024, and was sold for a fee of around €4,9 million. He remained at Sion on loan for the rest of the season.[6] However, due to the suspension of football in Switzerland during the COVID-19 pandemic, he made no official appearances for the club in his loan spell.

Having returned to Juventus in July 2020, Cotter was registered to the club's under-19 team for the 2020–21 season. He played 171 minutes, spread over 12 league games, and scored two goals in the Campionato Primavera 1. During a training session in June 2021, Cotter suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury, which kept him out for about eight months.[7] He returned to train with Juventus U23 – the reserve team of Juventus – in April 2022.[8]
