Career
He began his career in 1994 with MG Stars, and in 1999 he was scouted by Juventus, where he played for a year in Italy. After the year he left Italy and moved back to South Africa where he signed a contract with Amazulu. In 2001, he left the club and moved to the Transnet Sport School of Excellence in Johannesburg. In January 2003 he was scouted by Chelsea F.C., where he left after just 7 months and moved to K.V.C. Westerlo.
The quick paced winger played for the Chelsea reserve team, and also had trials at Manchester United. In 2004, he played for K.V.C. Westerlo until he was loaned to Oud-Heverlee Leuven in the 2007-08 season in the Belgian Second Division.
On November 28, 2008, Mosia signed a six-month contract with Mpumalanga Black Aces of the PSL, before leaving the club only a month later due to the "lack of professionalism" at the club.
At 155 cm, Mosia was the smallest player in the Belgian First Division during the 2005-06 season.
