Upon joining the Hong Kong Cricket Club, he discovered a highly organized and competitive local cricket scene with a clear pathway to international representation through a three-year residency qualification. This inspired him to pursue a career with the national team. After completing his residency, Coetzee established himself as a top-order batter for Hong Kong. Outside of his national duties, he works as a professional coach.
