Kosyrin started playing in his home town of Zaporizhia, at the football academy of FC Torpedo Zaporizhia. He spent two seasons playing in the Ukrainian Second League with Victor Zaporizhia. In 1995 he was brought back to Torpedo Zaporizhia, and after two seasons was sold to the Ukrainian giants FC Dynamo Kyiv. He only managed a handful of appearances for the senior team, spending most of his time playing for FC Dynamo-3 Kyiv and FC Dynamo-2 Kyiv, the club’s reserve teams which compete in the Ukrainian Second League and Ukrainian First League respectively. In 1998 he was loaned out to FC Cherkasy, and had a good season there, scoring 11 goals in 18 league games. Kosyrin also spent a year playing in Israel with Maccabi Tel Aviv. He also spent two years with FC Arsenal Kyiv. In 2002 he was sold to the newly promoted FC Chornomorets Odessa, where he finally established himself as a formidable player. Kosyrin had a good three-year spell with the team, becoming the league leading scorer in the 2004–05 season. He formed a strong partnership with Kostantyn Balabanov. In 2005 he was sold to FC Metalurh Donetsk where he continued his good scoring form. On 19 June 2008 he made his return to Odessa by signing a two-year contract with Chornomorets.[1] In the summer of 2010, when his contract expired, he joined FC Dniester Ovidiopol in the Ukrainian First League.
