Karleigh Anthony Jonathan Osborne (born 19 March 1988 in Southall) is an English footballer currently playing for Brentford. Osborne plays principally at centre-back, though he is also a capable right-back.
He made his debut against Hull in May 2005 at the age of just 17, having been an unused substitute earlier in the season when he was only 16.
In the 2007–08 season, in the absence of Matt Heywood and Kevin O'Connor, Osborne captained the team on several occasions. He scored his first goal for Brentford in a 1–0 win at Shrewsbury Town on 5 January 2008, scored a header from Ryan Dickson's corner. He had a one-month loan spell with Oxford United in September 2008. On 10 October 2008, Osborne transferred to Eastbourne Borough for a one-month loan lasting until 6 November 2008.[1] He played three games and scored a goal against Barrow during a league game.[2] He returned from his loan spells to play a key role in Brentford's promotion from League Two. In the 2009/10 season, his appearances were limited until March, when an injury crisis gave him an extended run of games in the team. His good form resulted in a new contract at the end of the campaign.
