Career

In March 2022, Lotka signed a two-year contract with Borussia Dortmund II,^[3] starting in the 2022–23 season, but after several games in the starting line-up of Hertha BSC with positive acclaim, the Berlin-based club started exploring options to reverse the deal and keep the player for the next season.^[4] However, this appeal was unsuccessful; in May 2022, Lotka's move to Dortmund was officially confirmed.^[5]

On 9 July 2025, he signed with 2. Bundesliga club Fortuna Düsseldorf.^[6]
