Career

In March 2022, Lotka signed a two-year contract with Borussia Dortmund II, starting in the 2022–23 season, but after several games in the starting line-up of Hertha BSC with positive acclaim, the Berlin-based club started exploring options to reverse the deal and keep the player for the next season. However, this appeal was unsuccessful; in May 2022, Lotka's move to Dortmund was officially confirmed.

On 9 July 2025, he signed with 2. Bundesliga club Fortuna Düsseldorf.

On 15 June 2026, Lotka moved to 3. Liga club Energie Cottbus.
