Born in Figueres, Girona, Catalonia, Coto arrived in FC Barcelona's youth system in 2001 at the age of 13, from local UE Figueres. While at Barcelona, he featured in Nike's 2005 “Recuerda mi nombre” (“Remember my name”) advertisement alongside fellow La Masia prospect Lionel Messi.[1] He then moved to R.E. Mouscron in Belgium, being released after one season.
Coto returned to his country in the summer of 2008, playing with Sevilla Atlético in Segunda División and Benidorm CF in Segunda División B, suffering relegation with the former. In early July 2010, even though he still had one year of contract with the Valencian Community club, he changed teams and countries again, signing for Anorthosis Famagusta FC in Cyprus, managed by his former Barcelona youth coach Guillermo Ángel Hoyos.[2]
On 28 June 2011, Coto joined FC Dinamo Tbilisi in Georgia, sharing teams with several compatriots.[3] In February 2014 he signed for Uzbek League side Bunyodkor PFK,[4] but left in July,[5] quickly agreeing to a one-year deal with San Marino Calcio in the Lega Pro.[6]
On 29 August 2017, the 29-year-old Coto returned to Spain with CF Rayo Majadahonda after brief stints with Cypriot clubs Ethnikos Achna FC, Doxa Katokopias FC and Ermis Aradippou FC.[7]
