Club career
Aston Villa
Born in Birmingham, West Midlands, Osbourne started out training at Derby County after he and his brother, Isaac were spotted and offered a trial, but they were not offered a youth contract there. The brothers went on trial at Aston Villa, from which Isaiah was signed. He progressed through the club's youth system. After being given the squad number 27 shirt following Martin O'Neill's arrival as the new Aston Villa manager, he made his Premier League debut on 21 October 2006, coming on as a substitute in the 83rd minute for Steven Davis, against Fulham at Villa Park.

Personal life
Born and raised in Erdington, Osbourne is the younger brother of midfielder Isaac Osbourne and has six brothers and four sisters. Writing for the Coventry Telegraph, Issac revealed that their family were Aston Villa supporters, and that his father, Ivan, used to be a footballer in amateur football.
Osbourne attended Kingsbury School and Sports College. Growing up, he supported Arsenal and named former Gunners captain Patrick Vieira as one of his footballing role models. In November 2008, Osbourne became a first time father. In February 2011, he became a second time father.
In October 2009, Osbourne was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to rob whilst training at Aston Villa's Bodymoor Heath Training Complex. No charges were ever brought against him. Osbourne says that the arrest was as a result of a Mercedes Benz which he had tried to sell on Auto Trader – which a group of men had attempted to purchase with counterfeit money. Despite nothing ever coming of the arrest, Osbourne considers it something that has had a negative effect on his footballing career and later described his move to the SPL was partly down to a need to "get away from it all".
During the 2011–12 season, Isaac and Isaiah both played for Aberdeen and Hibernian in the same league and played against each other on two occasions. They also played together during his time at Nottingham Forest when they played against each other against Coventry City on 18 April 2009.
