Karleigh Anthony Jonathan Osborne (born 19 March 1988) is an English professional footballer who plays for Kilmarnock .
Osborne started his career at South Ruislip Rangers. He was rejected by Arsenal, Chelsea, Fulham and QPR before joining Brentford.
Osborne joined League One side Brentford in the summer of 2004. He quickly made an impression in the club's youth and reserve teams and received his first call into the senior squad for a Football League Trophy first round match versus Milton Keynes Dons on 28 September 2004. Awarded the number 38 shirt, he remained on the bench for the 3–0 defeat.
Osborne was an unused substitute on two further occasions before making his Brentford debut against Hull in the final game of the 2004/05 season, starting the match and playing the full 90 minutes. He found appearances hard to come by the following season, making only three, though he started and played the full ninety minutes in each match. He spent the final two months of the season on loan at Conference South side Hayes.
After Martin Allen left as manager and his squad was broken up, Osborne became a first team regular under Leroy Rosenior (and later Scott Fitzgerald) during the 2006–07 season, at the end of which Brentford were relegated to League Two. After missing out the last two matches at the end of the season following a red card in a 3–0 loss against Doncaster Rovers, Osborne made twenty-one appearance for the club and was awarded a two–year contract, keeping him until 2009.
