Leon Osborne (born 28 October 1989 in Doncaster) is an English footballer, who plays for Bradford City. He is a striker.
[edit] Career
Osborne made his league debut for Bradford City when he came on as substitute in the final ten minutes of City's 2–2 draw with Millwall on the final game of the 2006–07 season.[1]
Although still predominantly a member of the youth set-up at the Bantams, Osborne caused controversy when he insulted the club on his Bebo page. Osborne subsequently apologised for his misdemeanor and was reprimanded by the club and manager Stuart McCall, and remained at the club.[2][3] He did not play for the first team during the 2007–08 season, but was offered a new contract, and signed for another six months in May 2008.[4]
