Former Reading defender Curtis Osano signed for Rushden & Diamonds on a two-year contract following his release by the Championship side at the start of the 2008-09 season.
Kenyan born Osano, spent the 2007-08 season at Nene Park on work experience after joining Reading's Academy as a schoolboy. He had previous spells at Aldershot Town in October 2006 and Woking in January 2007.
In making a total of 56 appearances for Diamonds during the loan spell, Osano started more League games than any other player in the 2007-08 season and became manager Garry Hill's fifth summer signing ahead of the 2008-09 campaign.
Hill commented on the signing "Curtis did extremely well for us last season and I am delighted that we have managed to secure his services for two more years."
Osano, who is capable of playing either in defence or midfield, made his debut for Reading in a 3-2 FA Cup Replay victory against West Bromwich Albion in January 2006. His chances were limited that season at Reading, with Osano mainly appearing in youth and reserve games for 'The Royals'.
After making an appearance from the bench in Reading's pre-season game at Nene Park in 2006, Curtis went out on loan to Conference side Aldershot Town. During his spell at 'The Shots', Curtis made nine appearances, including one substitute appearance against Rushden & Diamonds in a game won 1-0 by Aldershot.
On his return to Reading, Osano made an appearance in another FA Cup 3-2 victory, this time against Birmingham City in January 2007, subsequently Curtis was loaned out to Woking for the remainder of the season. Curtis impressed with his quality down the right hand side in both defence and attack during the 2007-08 season.
