In round 10 of the 2016 NRL season, Gosiewski made his NRL debut for South Sydney against the Parramatta Eels.[6][7] He played a total of 5 games for South Sydney in 2016, for most of the season though, he featured for North Sydney, making 9 appearances and scoring 3 tries. In October, he re-signed with Souths on a one-year contract until the end of 2017.[8]

Gosiewski spent most of the 2017 NRL season out with a torn patella.[9] After getting match fitness and game time with South Sydney's feeder club North Sydney, he was recalled to the South Sydney lineup and played his sole NRL game of the season in South Sydney's 36-18 victory over the New Zealand Warriors.[10] After not being offered a new contract by Souths, he signed a one-year contract in September, with the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles starting in 2018.[11]
