Kosyrin started playing in his home town of Zaporizhzhia, at the football academy of Torpedo Zaporizhzhia. He spent two seasons playing in the Ukrainian Second League with Viktor Zaporizhia. In 1995, he was brought back to Torpedo Zaporizhzhia, and after two seasons was sold to the Ukrainian giants Dynamo Kyiv. He only managed a handful of appearances for the senior team, spending most of his time playing for Dynamo-3 Kyiv and 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 Arsenal Kyiv. In 2002, he was sold to the newly promoted Chornomorets Odesa, 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 Metalurh Donetsk where he continued his good scoring form. On 19 June 2008, he made his return to Odesa by signing a two-year contract with Chornomorets.[2] In the summer of 2010, when his contract expired, he joined Dniester Ovidiopol in the Ukrainian First League.
Kosyrin played for the Ukraine U21 national team on six occasions and for the Ukraine senior national team seven times. His senior debut came on 15 August 2005 in a game against Macedonia.
