Ben Osborn has shared his delight at joining boyhood club Derby County on social media.


Derby’s first signing ahead of the 2024/25 Sky Bet Championship season was confirmed on Friday evening.

Osborn, who is 29, grew up as a Rams fan before going on to play for Nottingham Forest and latterly Sheffield United.

He has joined Derby on a two-year deal, running until the summer of 2026, and provides significant Championship and Premier League experience to bring to Paul Warne’s squad.

We're delighted to have you on board, Ben!
