Artur Kotenko

Artur Kotenko (born 20 August 1981) is a retired Estonian professional footballer who last played as a goalkeeper for FCI Levadia.

[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.

[7] On 10 June 2010, he signed a 1-year deal with Cypriot team AEP Paphos, with an option to extend it by another year,[8] joining compatriot Ats Purje.

However, on May 18, 2020, Lepmets unexpectedly announced his decision to retire from professional football, after which Kotenko was placed in charge of first team goalkeeping duties.
