Career

Born in Brent, Greater London, Cotter started his career with Arsenal's youth academy, before moving to Queens Park Rangers.[4] He then joined Luton Town at under-13 level, with whom he started his scholarship.[4] Cotter was a member of the under-18 team that won the Youth Alliance South East title and the Youth Alliance Cup in 2015–16,[5] and also reached the quarter-finals of the FA Youth Cup, in which they lost 1–0 to Blackburn Rovers.[6] He captained the under-18 team the following season and made his first-team debut in a 2–1 victory away to Gillingham in an EFL Trophy group stage match on 30 August 2016.[7][8] Cotter signed a professional contract with Luton on 23 May 2017.[9] After signing, manager Nathan Jones said "It will be a big year for him as it's going to be a year when he can see if he can bridge that gap and we'll give him every opportunity to do that".[10]

On 11 August 2017, Cotter signed for Southern League Premier Division club Hitchin Town on a one-month youth loan.[8][11] He made six league appearances before returning to Luton.[12][13] Cotter rejoined Hitchin on a one-month youth loan on 22 September.[14] The loan was extended for another month on 23 October,[15] before later being extended for a third month on 21 November, having made 22 appearances for Hitchin up to that point in 2017–18.[16] He was recalled by Luton on 5 December, and started in a 4–0 home win over West Ham United U21 in the EFL Trophy second round, in which he scored Luton's third goal.[17] Cotter returned to Hitchin on a one-month youth loan three days later.[18] Having made a further six appearances for Hitchin, Cotter returned to Luton after the loan expired.[13][19] On 12 February 2018, he rejoined Hitchin on a one-month youth loan and made five further appearances.[13][20] Cotter was loaned out again on 16 March, joining National League South club Oxford City for the rest of the season.[21] He finished the loan with one goal from nine appearances,[13] as Oxford finished the season 16th in the table.[22] He was released by Luton at the end of the season.[23]
