Alfie Osborne, born on 16 July 2008 in the heart of Scotland, is a sprightly 17-year-old who commands the pitch with a commanding presence characteristic of central defensive midfielders. Now proudly wearing the number 64 jersey for Hearts, Osborne poses an intimidating figure standing at a towering 6 feet 4 inches (1.94m) and a robust weight of 12 stone 10 pounds (81kg).
His position as a central defensive midfielder may not be the most glamorous in the world of football, but it is one that requires a combination of tactical intelligence, defensive solidity, and an uncanny ability to read the flow of the game—traits that Osborne has continually demonstrated throughout his budding career.
Despite only being 17, Osborne's rapid rise and assertive performances in the heart of midfield have led to high praises and interest from several clubs across the United Kingdom and beyond.
The towering Scot has yet to wear the green and white hooped jersey of Celtic, yet his performances at Hearts suggest he could quite easily slot into the midfield of any team in the Premiership. Time will tell if a move to Celtic Park will be the next chapter in this exciting young midfielder's career.
