Diamonds recruit defender Osano

Rushden & Diamonds have completed the signing of defender Curtis Osano on a two-year contract following his release by Championship side Reading.

Osano, 21, spent last season at Nene Park on work experience after joining the Royals' academy as a schoolboy.

The Kenyan born player had previous spells at Aldershot Town in October 2006 and Woking in January 2007.

Osano made 56 appearances for Diamonds, and started more League games than any other player last season.

He becomes manager Garry Hill's fifth summer signing ahead of the new season.

Hill said: "Curtis did extremely well for us last season and I am delighted that we have managed to secure his services for two more years."
