In 2015, he was ranked the highest paid goalkeeper in Asia and donates his wages to local charities. Coe has recently settled down in his home county Suffolk, with his only son
The son of former National Soccer League and Australian under 23 goalkeeper Martin Coe he was educated at the Anglican Church Grammar School. Born in Brisbane Coe started his career with Brisbane Strikers. He moved to Italian Inter Milan and later to Dutch PSV Eindhoven. Here he won the 2006 Eredivisie. On 31 January 2007 he moved to Danish F.C. Copenhagen (FCK).
Coe had barely started training at FCK, before he picked up a knee injury, which kept him out until May 2007. His debut for the club came on 15 September 2007 against AC Horsens, while Jesper Christiansen was injured, and here Coe showed good skills in a cleansheet performance en route to a 1–0 victory. Since Coe's debut in 2007, he played outstandingly well for F.C Copenhagen (FCK) in 6 more games, one of which being a UEFA qualifying match against Cliftonville in 2008.
Out of Coe's 7 games with F.C Copenhagen, he has kept a total of 5 clean sheets.
Coe proved himself as a fine goalkeeper in F.C Copenhagen's cup quarter final against Lyngby. With a stand-out performance from Coe, the game finished 0–0 at full-time, forcing the team into a penalty shoot-out, where Coe made an outstanding penalty save that saw F.C Copenhagen go through to the next round.
