Osborne embarked on a scholarship at the beginning of the 2004–05 season and progressed sufficiently to be named as a substitute in a youthful squad for a Football League Trophy first round match versus Milton Keynes Dons on 28 September 2004 . Osborne remained unused during the 3–0 defeat and was named on the bench on two further occasions , before making his debut on the final day of the 2004–05 regular season versus Hull City . He played the full 90 minutes of the 2–1 comeback victory , but did not appear in the Bees 2005 League One play-off campaign .

Osborne signed a new two-year contract in June 2007 and made semi-regular appearances during the 2007–08 and 2008–09 League Two seasons .
