Club career
Early career
Born in Cali, Valle del Cauca, Copete started his professional career in 2005 in Venezuela, playing for Trujillanos. In 2007, he joined Atlético Trujillo in the second tier, scoring 16 goals in the club's promotion campaign.[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.
Santa Fe
In 2011, Copete joined Independiente 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 seven goals, including the championship goal in the second leg of the final against Deportivo Pasto.[2]
Vélez
After his championship winning season at Santa Fe, Copete joined Vélez Sársfield of the Argentine Primera División, which purchased 50% of his rights for a fee of US$3 million.[3][4] Despite suffering an injury early on, his first season proved successful, as he helped Vélez to obtain the 2012 Inicial.
In January 2014, it was announced that Copete would rejoin Santa Fe after two years playing in Argentina, on loan until June.[5]
Atlético Nacional
On 9 July, Copete moved to league rivals Atlético Nacional.[6] He scored 11 goals for the club during the 2015 campaign, as his side achieved the Finalización title.
Santos
After impressing in 2016 Copa Libertadores, Copete signed for Brazilian Série A club Santos on 23 May 2016, for a fee of US$1.5 million.[7] He signed a four-year deal on 23 June, after the international transfer window opened.[8]
Copete made his debut for the club on 29 June 2016, coming on as a half-time substitute for Vitor Bueno and scoring his team's first in a 2–3 away loss against Grêmio;[9] four days later, again coming from the bench, he provided two assists and scored once in a 3–0 home win against Chapecoense.[10] In October, he scored the winning goals in derbies against São Paulo[11] and Palmeiras,[12] taking his tally up to seven in the league.
In November 2016, Copete scored three goals in only two games, netting the winner in a 2–1 success at Ponte Preta and a brace in a 3–2 home win over Vitória,[13] becoming the club's top goalscorer in the Brasileirão alongside Vítor Bueno.
On 9 July 2017, Copete scored a hat-trick in a 3–2 win against São Paulo.[14] Late in the month, after scoring a double against Flamengo, he became the foreigner who scored more goals for Santos with 22, surpassing Juan Raul Echevarrieta.[15]
International career
On 4 November 2016, Copete was called up to Colombia national team by manager José Pékerman for two 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiecation matches against Chile and Argentina.[16] He made his full international debut eleven days later, replacing Daniel Torres in a 0–3 loss against the latter.
