Club career
On 12 October 2007, Osman was injured during training and as a result he sat out the remainder of the 2007–08 A-League season. He was forced to have an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, returning to training in May 2008. In July 2008 he re-signed with the Mariners for the 2008–09 season.

Osman appeared in a Season 5 episode of the U.S. TV series The Office. As described by reddit user kiasam111, new boss Charles (Idris Elba) walks out of his office to find Andy (Ed Helms) looking at what appears to be a screen-saver with a series of photos of football. A photo appears of two players, taken from an A-League (soccer) game between Central Coast Mariners and Perth Glory, played at Central Coast Stadium in Gosford, Australia, on 31 December 2008. The players in the photo (taken by Corey Davis of Getty Images) are Marc Anthony (Perth) and Osman (Central Coast).

On 3 December 2008, Osman was signed by Gold Coast United for their inaugural A-league season. He signed for Parramatta Eagles in summer of 2011.
