ALBUQUERQUE, NM – New Mexico United is excited to announce the signing of midfielder Jose Sosa. Sosa joins the Black & Yellow fresh off of four seasons at UCLA, where he was a standout star. Sosa earned WCC freshman team (2019), all-Western Conference First Team (2021), all-Pac 12 Second Team (2022), and all-Region Second Team (2022) honors. In 2022, he also earned USL League Two All-Conference honors while playing for CFC Atletico, and was the first in his family to attend college.
“All I’ve ever wanted, since I was a kid, was to be able to play at the professional level,” said Sosa. “I’d like to thank New Mexico United for this special opportunity, and for making that dream a reality. I’m ready to get on the field and to make a difference in New Mexico.”
Sosa was a trialist this season, earning his spot on the team through hard work in preseason.
