Career in Estonia

On 24 October 2004, Kotenko scored FC Levadia Tallinn's second goal against JK Viljandi Tulevik in the penultimate round of 2004 Meistriliiga. The team won the match 4–1 and secured the title, ultimately making it the league winning goal.[2]

Having been frozen out of the Levadia side in 2007, after refusing to sign a contract extension with the club (a similar fate was suffered by teammates Konstantin Vassiljev and Ats Purje earlier that season), Kotenko joined the Norwegian First Division side Sandnes Ulf,[3] but was free to leave the club after less than a year because of a relegation release clause in his contract. In December 2008, Kotenko underwent a successful two-week trial at the English Championship side Nottingham Forest[4] and was expected to join the club in January. The deal, however, fell through when Colin Calderwood was sacked following a boxing day defeat to Doncaster Rovers.[5]

AEP Paphos FC

On 10 June 2010, he signed a 1-year deal with Cypriot team AEP Paphos F.C., with an option to extend it by another year,[8] joining compatriot Ats Purje. He failed to make an impact there and only appeared in 7 league matches.

Ravan Baku FC

After an spell in Cyprus, Kotenko moved to Azerbaijan and joined a newly promoted Ravan Baku FC on a two-year contract.[9] He made the debut on 6 August, in a 2–3 defeat against Kapaz PFC. The contract was mutually terminated in October 2011.[10]

FF Jaro
