Isaiah Osbourne

Isaiah Osbourne has remained on the periphery over the past two seasons, with most of his first team action coming away from Villa Park.

After featuring in a handful of cup matches in 2008-09, he enjoyed a brief loan spell at Nottingham Forest, becoming the first signing of Billy Davies' reign.

Championship club Middlesbrough was his destination last term, where he played nine times during a temporary stint.

Either side of his loan spell in the North East, Osbourne featured on numerous occasions for Villa's Reserve League South-winning second string.

The local lad has made numerous appearances for the first team since coming through the youth ranks.

His debut came as a late substitute against Fulham at Villa Park in October 2006, while he showed his talent with an impressive cameo from the bench in a 1-1 draw at Arsenal in March 2008.
