Club career

Born in Valencia, Valencian Community, Mossa graduated from local Levante UD's youth system, and made his senior debuts with the reserves in the 2007–08 campaign, in the Segunda División B. On 6 December 2008, he played his first match as a professional, coming on as a late substitute in a 3–1 home win against Albacete Balompié in the Segunda División.[1]

On 20 June of the following year Mossa was handed his first start, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–2 home draw against UD Las Palmas.[2] He continued to appear regularly with the B-side in the Tercera División, however.

On 5 July 2011, Mossa signed a two-year deal with another reserve team, Valencia CF Mestalla.[3] A year later, however, he returned to his previous club's B-side, now back to the third level.[4]

On 7 July 2014, Mossa joined Gimnàstic de Tarragona, in the same division.[5] He appeared in 37 matches during the season, as his club returned to the second level after a three-year absence.

On 31 July 2017, after becoming an undisputed starter for Nàstic, Mossa signed a two-year contract with fellow second-tier club Real Oviedo.[6] On 4 July 2022, he retired at the age of 33 after his contract expired, and became an assistant of José Ángel Ziganda at SD Huesca.[7]
