Career
Sosa's career started in 2002 with Huracán.[2] He appeared in two fixtures during the 2002–03 Argentine Primera División season, which concluded with relegation to Primera B Nacional; which allowed Sosa to make thirty-seven more appearances and score one goal for Huracán up until 2007.[2] He departed midway through the year to play for Ferro Carril Oeste, before returning to the top-flight with Newell's Old Boys in 2008.[2] His stint with them lasted just a few months, with the midfielder subsequently agreeing to join Almirante Brown of Primera B Metropolitana.[2] His first goal for the club arrived on 15 March 2009 against Tristán Suárez.[1]
June 2009 saw Sosa depart his homeland to play in Ecuador for Macará.[1] Twelve appearances followed, which included his Serie A debut versus Barcelona.[1] A return to Ferro Carril Oeste was confirmed ahead of the 2010–11 Primera B Nacional, prior to Sosa competing a move to Brazilian Campeonato Mato-Grossense side Mixto in 2011.[1][2] In the same year, Sosa joined Primera B Metropolitana's Estudiantes.[1] He remained for 2011–12 and 2012–13.[1][3] Fellow third tier team Defensores de Belgrano signed Sosa on 30 June 2013.[1][4] He played one hundred and seventy-six times across six seasons, which culminated with promotion.[1]
