Judged on this season alone, Osborn graded 21 — a strong campaign that ranks top 27% of the 64 centre-backs in the League One, on 4 clean sheets and 1.935 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 36 → 21). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2025/26.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 49th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the League One. At 32 Osborn is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2025/26 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Stockport County finished 1st of 24 · a title-challenging side
1.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 35.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.94 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 17.6, Osborn carries the 49th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One of 64 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
