He went through their youth system, winning many youth trophies, including "Championnat National des 16 ans"[1] (Under 16 National Championship), after reaching with his team in 2008 the Under 16 final stage for the first time in Marseille's history.[2] He went on to join Marseille's first team in 2009, after signing an "Elite" contract[3] (2 years as a trainee and 3 years as a professional). His first professional match with Marseille was against AEL Limassol in the UEFA Europa League[4]

Carlisle United
Osei penned a six-month deal with the option to extend on July 28, 2015 with English League Two club Carlisle United following a successful trial spell.[7] On December 23, Osei was released by the club by mutual consent.[8]

International career
