He moved to Derby County in October 1979, where he featured in 69 games and netted 10 goals between 1979 and 1981. Osgood left the Baseball Ground in December 1981, transferring to Leyton Orient, for whom he made another 36 appearances. During the summer of 1984, Osgood had a spell with Helsingin Jalkapalloklubi in Finland. [4] He finished his senior career at Cambridge United, playing on 35 occasions and finding the net only once.
