Early Career and Loans

When he came back, he was the second-choice goalkeeper. But soon, his coach chose him to be the main goalkeeper for the 2009–10 Uruguayan Primera División season. Sosa helped Peñarol win the league title that season. He also helped them reach the final of the 2011 Copa Libertadores, a big South American tournament.
Playing in Argentina
In July 2011, Sosa moved to Argentina. He joined Boca Juniors, a very famous club. He mostly played as a substitute for another goalkeeper, Agustín Orión. During his time at Boca, he helped the team win the 2011 Apertura and the 2011–12 Copa Argentina.
After Boca, Sosa joined another Argentine club, Vélez Sársfield. Here, he also started as a second-choice goalkeeper. But he soon became the main starter. He played in 9 games when his team won the 2012 Inicial. Sosa also helped Vélez win the 2012–13 Superfinal and the 2013.
Moving to Mexico
In June 2015, Sosa's contract with Vélez ended. He then moved to Mexico to play for Pachuca.
In January 2017, Sosa joined Monarcas Morelia on loan from Pachuca. He was initially the second-choice goalkeeper. Morelia was fighting to avoid being moved down to a lower league.
