Career
Born in Nakuru, Kenya, Osano is a defender who rose through the ranks at Reading. He has been involved with the English youth set-up, but he failed to make a league appearance. However, he made two appearances in the FA Cup.
Osano joined Aldershot Town in October 2006 on a month-long work experience deal, which was later extended.[1] He then joined Woking in January 2007 on work experience until the end of the 2006–07 season.[2]
He joined Rushden & Diamonds for the 2007–08 season on work experience.[3] He joined Rushden on a two-year contract in July 2008 following his release by Reading.[4] He was released by Rushden in May 2011.[5]
After being released by Rushden, he was taken on trial by Championship side Brighton & Hove Albion and participated in their first pre-season game of 2011 against Burgess Hill Town. He played the first 45 minutes of the match.[6] After this, Osano went on trial with Luton Town, earning a six month contract on 29 July 2011 after his performances in two pre-season games.[7]
