Career

As playing opportunities were limited at Wycombe, he joined Conference National side Farnborough Town on loan for the 2002–03 season,[4] and then joined them on a permanent basis at the end of the season.[5] He made 47 appearances for Farnborough Town before joining Conference North club Kettering Town in March 2005 soon after Farnborough Town manager Dean Austin was sacked.[5] He spent two seasons at Kettering before being released at the end on the 2006–07 season,[6] and joining Histon.[7] He lost his place in the first team to Danny Naisbitt in September 2007 and a month later, joined Halesowen Town on a three-month loan.[8] He then joined Halesowen Town on a permanent basis in January 2008.[9]

He joined Corby in 2008, having been released by Halesowen Town at the end of the 2007–08 season.[10] Osborn's performances helped Corby finish as champions of the British Gas Premier Division in the 2008–09 season.[11][12] He then joined Arlesey Town.[13]

He joined Hemel Hempstead Town for the 2012/13 season.[14]

He signed for Winslow United in the Spartan South Midlands League Division 1 in 2013 and played his first game for Winslow United in a 3-2 defeat to Welwyn Garden City FC on Wednesday 30 January.

In his second game for Winslow United and on his home debut at 'The Gate' he kept a clean sheet in a must win game against Kentish Town in a game Winslow won 2-0 on Saturday 2 February.
