Club career
editHis nickname is Bambino or El Mosquito, inherited from his father Heberley, former striker of Penarol, Nacional, Cerro Porteño and Qingdao Aokema.[2]
Sosa made his Uruguayan Primera División debut for Cerro Largo on 3 September 2011 in a match against Fénix in the 76th minute for teammate Matías Tellechea. He made his first goal against River Plate on 9 October 2011. On 29 August 2012 he moved to Serie A club Palermo, for 1.6 million €, signing a five-year contract.[3]
In January 2013 he moved to Central Español on a year loan.[4] Following that, he was loaned out to Slovak club FK Senica, where he failed to impress. On 1 September 2014, he was permanently sold to Empoli[5] and then loaned out to Eastern Europe again, this time to Albanian Superliga club Vllaznia Shkodër.[6]
Sosa made his first appearance with Vllaznia on 11 September 2014, starting and playing full-90 minutes in a 1–1 home draw against KF Tirana, in a match which would be remembered mostly for the incidents inside and outside the field.[7] He opened his scoring account on 27 September where he scored the winning goal against KF Elbasani, helping Vllaznia to reach the third victory of the season.[8]
After playing for Patronato, in January 2022 he joined Boston River and was immediately loaned to Vélez Sarsfield on a deal for a year with an option to buy.[9] At the end of June 2022, Sosa left Veléz to join Everton de Viña del Mar in the Chilean Primera División on a new loan spell until the end of the year.[1]
International career
editSosa has played for Uruguay U20, scoring twice in five appearances.
