Isaiah is a local Birmingham lad who joined Villa as an apprentice, turning professional in November 2005. He captained Tony McAndrew’s Under 18 team in 2005-06 and, having impressed Martin o’Neill, he was handed the number 27 shirt for the 2006-07 season. He made his Premiership debut in the 1-1 draw with Fulham in October 2006. Osbourne has been compared to Patrick Vieira, who is his role model.

Isaiah is highly-rated and shows great promise. He has been capped for England at Under 16 level.
