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.
2 months ago i did not expect this to happen but things change in football very quickly 😃. Loved my time up in Sheffield with the Blades, met some friends for life and created unbelievable memories.

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