Matthew James Osman (born 29 July 1983) is an Australian former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.
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.[1] He was forced to have an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, returning to training in May 2008.[2] In July 2008 he re-signed with the Mariners for the 2008–09 season.[3]
Osman appeared in a Season 5 episode of the U.S. TV series The Office.[4] As described by reddit user kiasam111,[5] 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.[6] The players in the photo (taken by Corey Davis of Getty Images)[7] 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.[8] He signed for Parramatta Eagles in summer of 2011.[9]
Osman was named in the Australia under-20 team squad for the 2002 OFC U-20 Championship in Fiji.[10]
