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.


Osborn posted his reaction to joining Derby, and his five-year spell at Sheffield United coming to an end, on both X and Instagram.

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