Club career

Kosef made his first-grade debut for Manly in a round 18 match of 1992 against the Penrith Panthers. He played for the club and its related successor the Northern Eagles for ten consecutive seasons although his last three years were interrupted by injury.

He was a member of Manly's premiership winning side of season 1996 as well as the team which lost the Grand Final in 1997 to Newcastle.

Four knee injuries limited his appearances at the Northern Eagles to just ten games during the 2000 and 2001 seasons. Kosef made his return to the team in 2002 after sorting out a contract dispute with the club. Kosef accepted a pay-out from Manly for the final year of his contract, and he retired at the end of 2002.[1]
