As a professional footballer, he primarily fills the role of a central midfielder for Dundee, donning the number 24 jersey. His stature is impressive, standing at exactly 6ft (1.83m) tall and tipping the scales at 11st (70kg).
According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is approximately £127k.
Cotterill's career in football began in earnest when he joined Swansea City as a trainee in July 2020. This Championship club gave him his first taste of professional football; however, it wasn't long before he got his first loan move. In August 2023, he transferred to Stockport County in England's League One, breaking away from Swansea.
Upon completion of his loan term, Cotterill returned to Swansea in January 2024, before swiftly moving on loan to another League Two side, Swindon Town, in July 2024. His experience here was short-lived, though, as he found himself back with Swansea once more in June 2025.
Not one to stay in one place for long, Cotterill earned another loan transfer, this time to Bristol Rovers in the League Two in September 2025. His Bristol stint was brief, with him returning to Swansea in January 2026.
In a surprising turn of events, Cotterill's career took a northward turn, literally, as he was transferred on loan from Swansea to the Scottish Premiership side, Dundee, in January 2026. Not only did he compete in the Premiership, but he also participated in the Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026 for Dundee with a start.
Though he hasn't spent an extensive amount of time at any given club, this Welsh-born central midfielder certainly has a noteworthy football journey. His diverse experience across various leagues and clubs, coupled with his evident skill set, suggest a promising future for Joel Cotterill in the football world.
