Pachuca

Cota made his professional debut for Pachuca on 21 September 2007 against Veracruz.[2]

Puebla

In 2014 it was announced Cota was sent out on loan to Puebla.[4] He made his debut against Tijuana in a 1–0 victory.[5] In April 2015, he won the Copa MX after defeating Guadalajara.[6]

Guadalajara

On 11 June 2015, Guadalajara announced they had signed Cota on loan in order to create competition with José Antonio Rodríguez, after club veteran Luis Ernesto Michel was sold to Dorados de Sinaloa. Cota then quickly rose to be the first-choice goalkeeper after his performances in the Copa MX, becoming champion after defeating Monarcas Morelia the Copa MX final, and became a key figure in the club's twelfth Liga MX title win against Tigres UANL.[7][8] He was named in the Best XI of the tournament and won the Golden Glove award for the season.[9][10]

The following season, he proved to be vital again as Guadalajara won the 2018 CONCACAF Champions League against Major League Soccer club Toronto FC,[11] as he was rewarded the Golden Glove of the tournament and named in the Best XI.[12][13]

León

On 16 May 2018, Cota completed a move to León.[14]

Cota controversially wore a jersey to protest against femicide in Mexico during a match against Club Necaxa on 22 February 2020. The shirt had the figure of a woman lying in a pool of blood in the shape of a map of Mexico. Cota may be suspended for three matches and fined MXN $300,000 (US$15,000).[15]

Loan to América

On 21 June 2024, Cota joined Club América on loan.[16]
