[edit]Born in Birmingham, West Midlands, Osbourne started out training at Derby County after he and his brother, Isaac were spotted and offered a trial, but they were not offered a youth contract there.[1] The brothers went on trial at Aston Villa, from which Isaiah was signed.[1] He progressed through the club's youth system. After being given the squad number 27 shirt following Martin O'Neill's arrival as the new Aston Villa manager, he made his Premier League debut on 21 October 2006, coming on as a substitute in the 83rd minute for Steven Davis, against Fulham at Villa Park.[2][3] In a follow–up match against Leicester City in the third round of the League Cup, Osbourne made his first start for the club, playing 107 minutes before being substituted, in a 3–2 win.[4] After the match, his performance received praises, including one from manager O’Neill.[5] Following this, he appeared a handful of first team appearances for the rest of the year, making four more starts.[6] On 28 December 2006, Osbourne signed a new three-and-a-half-year contract, keeping him at Villa Park until the summer of 2010.[7] By February, he lost his first team place, due to competitions and was sent to Aston Villa's reserve team for the rest of the 2006–07 season.[8] Despite this, Osbourne went on to make thirteen appearances in all competitions.[9]

Personal life
[edit]Born and raised in Erdington, Osbourne is the younger brother of midfielder Isaac Osbourne and has six brothers and four sisters.[1][122][123][22] Writing for the Coventry Telegraph, Issac revealed that their family were Aston Villa supporters, and that his father, Ivan, used to be a footballer in amateur football.[122]

In October 2009, Osbourne was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to rob whilst training at Aston Villa's Bodymoor Heath Training Complex.[129] No charges were ever brought against him.[130] Osbourne says that the arrest was as a result of a Mercedes Benz which he had tried to sell on Auto Trader – which a group of men had attempted to purchase with counterfeit money. Despite nothing ever coming of the arrest, Osbourne considers it something that has had a negative effect on his footballing career and later described his move to the SPL was partly down to a need to "get away from it all".[131]
