Career

Copete started his professional career in 2005 in Venezuela, playing for Trujillanos. In 2007, he joined Unión Atlético Trujillo, where he played 12 games scoring 16 goals.[1] After one year back at Trujillanos, Copete joined another Venezuelan team, Zamora, where he won the 2011 Clausura, but lost to Deportivo Táchira the season's final. The Colombian forward was also the top goalscorer of the 2011 Clausura.

In 2011, Copete joined Santa Fe, his first team in his home country of Colombia. There, he was a key player in his team's victory at the 2012 Apertura, scoring 7 goals, including the championship goal in the second leg of the final against Deportivo Pasto.[2]

After his championship winning season at Santa Fe, Copete joined Vélez Sársfield of the Argentine Primera División, that purchased 50% of his transfer rights.[3][4] Despite suffering an injury early on, Copete's first season proved successful, as he helped Vélez to obtain the 2012 Inicial, playing 7 games.[5]

In January 2014, it was announced that he would rejoin Santa Fe after two years playing in Argentina.[6]
