Kevin Cossette (born January 9, 1990) is a Canadian soccer player who plays for Première Ligue de soccer du Québec club Royal-Sélect de Beauport.
Cossette was born in Greenfield Park, Quebec and grew up in Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec. He played for numerous amateur and youth teams between 2002 and 2007, including Inter St-Hyacinthe, Cosmos Granby AAA, FC Sélect Rive-Sud AAA and Champlain College AAA.[1]
He played for Montreal Impact's junior affiliate, Trois-Rivières Attak, in the Canadian Soccer League in 2009, scoring 3 goals in 18 games, prior to formally joining the Montreal Impact Academy in 2010.[2]
Cossette was called up to the senior Montreal Impact squad in the summer of 2010, and made his debut for the team on July 3, 2010, in a game against the Rochester Rhinos.[3] He attended preseason with the club in 2011, but was released at the very end of the camp, failing to make the 2011 roster.[4]
In 2011, he decided to go to university attending Université Laval, where he played for the soccer team.[5] Starting in 2013, he played with Royal-Sélect de Beauport in the Ligue de Soccer Elite Quebec, the top amateur division in Quebec.[6]
After graduating in 2015, he attended tryouts with USL clubs Rochester Rhinos and Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC,[7] before ultimately signing with Louisville City FC.[8] He became the first Laval graduate to sign a professional soccer contract. After the season, he received a contract offer from Pittsburgh, however, due to the low salary, he instead returned to his home in Quebec and re-joined Beauport.
In 2017, he joined Dynamo de Quebec in the semi-professional Première Ligue de soccer du Québec.[9] In 2020, after Dynamo left the PLSQ,[10] he joined AS Blainville.[11]
Beginning in 2016, he worked as the technical director of the Mistral Laurentien SC, and in 2020, he joined the Richelieu Valley club in a similar capacity.[12]
