[4] On February 20, 2021, Cohen acquired Israeli citizenship, with an Oleh Hadash status, on account of the State of Israel's Law of Return for the Jewish diaspora.

[4][5] Cohen played four years of college soccer at the University of California, San Diego between 2010 and 2013, graduating with a degree in bioengineering and computer science.

In 2012, he started 12 games and led the entirety of NCAA Division II in goals against average (0.397) and save percentage (0.898), earning a place on the Daktronics All-America Second Team.

[citation needed] On July 19, 2019, Sacramento Republic and Maccabi Haifa agreed to a transfer of Cohen to the Israeli Premier League club in advance of their 2019–20 season.

In that time, he conceded only 15 goals in his 21 games, saw out 12 clean sheets, and helped lead Maccabi Haifa to a second-place finish at the end of the first stage of the regular season.

This earned Maccabi Haifa a 2022-23 UEFA Champions League playoff round berth, where they would go on to defeat Olympiacos, Apollon Limassol, and Red Star Belgrade.
