In the 2007 NRL season, Cordoba played nearly every game for Parramatta including the club's preliminary final defeat against Melbourne.[5]

In the 2008 NRL season, Cordoba played 19 games as Parramatta finished a disappointing 11th on the table and missed out on the finals. In the 2009 NRL season, Cordoba was limited to only 3 games and did not feature in the club's finals campaign or 2009 NRL Grand Final. Midway through 2009, Cordoba signed a one-year contract to join Hull in the Super League.[6]

In 2010, Cordoba signed for Cronulla-Sutherland. In his two seasons at Cronulla, the club missed out on the finals.

At the end of the 2012 NRL season, Cordoba announced his retirement.[7]

On 25 July 2014, Championship side London Broncos took Cordoba out of retirement with a two-year contract.[8]

Cordoba holds a Spanish passport and therefore is not subject to the normal visa restrictions on Australian players heading to the UK. [9]
