Career
Early career
Born in Santa Fe, Sosa joined Unión de Santa Fe's youth system at the age of eight, from a local side named Club Escalante. After leaving the club at the age of 19, he made his senior debut with Primera B Metropolitana side Atlanta, after being promoted to the first team in June 2009. However, he only signed his professional contract with the side in June 2010.
After Atlanta's promotion from the third division, Sosa moved to Barracas Central also in that category in 2011, 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, but later remained playing at the side.
After leaving Colegiales in June 2014, Sosa played for a brief period for Sportivo Italiano before agreeing to a contract with Torneo Federal A side Gimnasia y Esgrima de Concepción del Uruguay for the 2015 season. After scoring in a regular basis for the side, he moved to Guaraní Antonio Franco in January 2016, where he would play just eight matches before returning to Gimnasia on 8 August.
Magallanes
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. 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
On 28 December 2018, Sosa signed for fellow Chilean second division side Deportes Melipilla. 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.
Sosa continued his goalscoring form in the 2021 campaign, scoring 23 goals but being unable to prevent Melipilla's relegation.
Mazatlán
On 23 December 2021, Sosa moved to Liga MX side Mazatlán, after rejecting offers from Chilean sides Colo-Colo and Universidad Católica. Despite featuring regularly, he left the club on 26 December 2022.
Audax Italiano
On 3 January 2023, Sosa returned to Chile and signed a contract with Audax Italiano.
