Career
Born in Reutlingen, Ćosić began his career with his hometown club, SSV Reutlingen 05, before moving to Stuttgart to have spells in the youth teams of both VfB and Kickers. He returned to Reutlingen in 2008, where he made his breakthrough, making 35 appearances in two seasons in the Regionalliga Süd. In 2010, he joined Bayern Munich II, but was due to injuries he was unable to make his debut until February 2011, when he replaced Christian Saba at half-time in a 2–0 defeat against Eintracht Braunschweig. He made a further three substitute appearances before the end of the season, as the club were relegated from the 3. Liga, and he was subsequently released by the club, signing for Eintracht Frankfurt II. He was released by Frankfurt six months later and signed for Maccabi Netanya.
