Zobeck signed with NASL club New York Cosmos on March 26, 2014.[6] On August 23, 2014, against Minnesota United FC, he made his professional debut coming in as a substitute in the seventh minute of the match.[7] Zobeck allowed a goal on a penalty kick before shutting out league-leading Minnesota United FC the rest of the way.
