Career

Born and raised in Perth, Koteka made his way up through the ranks in Western Australian rugby representing their Under 20 and Combined States sides before getting his big breakthrough in 2014 when he was a member of the Perth Spirit team which competed in the inaugural National Rugby Championship. He made 9 appearances and scored 3 tries as the Spirit reached the grand final only to go down 37-26 to Brisbane City.[4]

Koteka was not initially named in the Force squad for the 2015 Super Rugby season, however he was signed up on a short-term contract a few weeks into the campaign and made his debut on 27 February 2015 in a 42–13 loss at home to the Hurricanes.[5]
