Career

edit

Early career

edit

Born in Santa Fe,[2] Sosa joined Unión de Santa Fe's youth system at the age of eight, from a local side named Club Escalante.[3] After leaving the club at the age of 19,[3] he made his senior debut with Primera B Metropolitana side Atlanta, after being promoted to the first team in June 2009.[4] However, he only signed his professional contract with the side in June 2010.[5]

After Atlanta's promotion from the third division, Sosa moved to Barracas Central also in that category in 2011,[3] and started to feature more regularly. In 2012, he joined fellow league team Colegiales, where he was deemed surplus to requirements in December of that year,[6] but later remained playing at the side.

After leaving Colegiales in June 2014,[7] Sosa played for a brief period for Sportivo Italiano[3] before agreeing to a contract with Torneo Federal A side Gimnasia y Esgrima de Concepción del Uruguay for the 2015 season.[8] After scoring in a regular basis for the side, he moved to Guaraní Antonio Franco in January 2016,[9] where he would play just eight matches before returning to Gimnasia on 8 August.[10]

Magallanes

edit

On 22 July 2017, Sosa moved abroad for the first time in his career, after signing a contract with Primera B de Chile side Magallanes.[11][12] He was the club's top goalscorer in the 2017 Transición tournament with five goals, and scored a further ten times in the 2018 edition, again the best of his team.

Deportes Melipilla

edit

On 28 December 2018, Sosa signed for fellow Chilean second division side Deportes Melipilla.[13][14] In the 2020 season, he was the division's top goalscorer with 17 goals, being a key unit as the club achieved promotion to the Chilean Primera División.[15]

Sosa continued his goalscoring form in the 2021 campaign, scoring 23 goals but being unable to prevent Melipilla's relegation.[3]

Mazatlán

edit

On 23 December 2021, Sosa moved to Liga MX side Mazatlán, after rejecting offers from Chilean sides Colo-Colo and Universidad Católica.[16] Despite featuring regularly, he left the club on 26 December 2022.[17]

Audax Italiano

edit

On 3 January 2023, Sosa returned to Chile and signed a contract with Audax Italiano.[18]

Palestino

edit

In 2024, he signed with Palestino.[19]
