Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 15 → 36). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 59th of 63 of the 63 defensive midfielders 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 3.5 reflects that trajectory.

Output in context · Stockport County finished 3rd of 24 · an upper-table side
3.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 41 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 72.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- 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 23.5, Osborn carries the 59th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League One of 63. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
