Following the suspension of USL League One in 2021 due to the Coronavirus pandemic, in search of more playing time, Sosa signed for Jaguares de Córdoba in the Colombian First Division.[5] He scored 4 goals in 28 games for the club.

On 15 March 2023, for the second matchday in a row, after defeating La Equidad, Sosa was awarded the Man of the Match Award, exemplifying his excellent start to his new club.[10] On 21 July of the same year, after being introduced from the bench in the 67th minute, Sosa scored a stunning goal which resulted in a 3-1 win against Once Caldas. This was his 10th match of the season, having played 388 minutes of football.[11]
