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.
