Born in Coventry, Cosgrove attended Coundon Court School – alma mater of Scotland international Jim Hamilton – then Hartpury College, before joining Worcester Warriors Academy in 2013. In 2015, he signed a two-year deal with Edinburgh until May 2017.[1]

In March 2017, Cosgrove returned south with Bristol Rugby ahead of the 2017-18 Greene King IPA Championship season.[2]

In December 2018, Cosgrove left Bristol by mutual consent to return to Worcester Warriors.[3]
