Before joining Ezenkosi, the South African midfielder turned out for Eastern Cape side Bizana Pondo Chiefs who were relegated from the second tier to the ABC Motsepe League last season.
Cosmos were relegated from the GladAfrica Championship and owner Jomo Sono has insisted they will not buy a Premier Soccer League status for a comeback following their relegation.
