Career
editBorn in La Mojonera, Almería, Andalusia to Bissau-Guinean parents, Coba represented La Mojonera CF, UD Almería, UCD La Cañada Atlético and UD Maracena as a youth. He made his senior debut with the latter on 21 March 2021, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–1 Tercera División home win over CD Huétor Vega.[1]
On 6 September 2021, Coba signed for CD El Ejido's farm team Berja CF in the División de Honor Andaluza.[2] The following 18 July, after being regularly used, he moved abroad for the first time in his career and joined Slovenian PrvaLiga side NK Tabor Sežana.[3]
Coba made his professional debut on 24 July 2022, replacing Tom Kljun late into a 1–0 home loss to NK Olimpija Ljubljana. On 29 November, after being replaced before half-time in a 1–1 away draw against NK Gorica, he refused to shake hands with manager Dušan Kosič,[4] and subsequently left the club.[5]
On 7 December 2022, Coba returned to his home country and joined UB Conquense in Tercera Federación.[6] On 17 July 2024, after scoring a career-best seven goals as the club achieved promotion to Segunda Federación, he moved to Getafe CF and was assigned to the reserves also in the fourth division.[7]
