Career in England :

Born in Benin City, Nigeria, Osawe moved to England and raised in Manchester, England, where he grew up in Cheetham Hill. He was previously at Manchester City Academy before joining Blackburn Rovers on a two–year contract in 2010, where he progressed through the academy and the reserve team. He made his first appearance for Blackburn’s first team when he appeared on the substitute bench in a pre-season friendly against Accrington Stanley in July 2011.

A year later, on 26 October 2012, Osawe joined Accrington Stanley on a one-month loan deal. Three days later, on 29 October 2012, he made his Accrington Stanley debut, coming on as a substitute for Will Hatfield in the 59th minute, in a 1–0 win over Bristol Rovers.  After making two more appearances, he returned to his parent club.

On 30 January 2013, Osawe was loaned out again when he joined Hyde on a one-month loan deal. He made his Hyde debut on 2 February 2013, where he played 17 minutes in the match, as Hyde lost 2–1 to Woking.  He made only one further appearance before returning to his parent club. At the end of the season, he was released by the club.

On 9 August 2013, Osawe signed for Southport following his release from Blackburn Rovers.  He made his Southport, where he came on as a substitute for Paul Rutherford in the 88th minute, in a 1–0 win over Luton Town.  He scored his first Southport goal on 31 August 2013, in a 1–0 win over Aldershot Town, followed up by scoring in the next game on 7 September 2013, in a 4–1 loss against Tamworth.  He played 41 first team games and scoring some important goals, including adding four more goals later in the season against Alfreton Town,[18] Grimsby Town,  Dartford and Macclesfield Town.

Hallescher FC :

After a season at Southport, Osawe moved abroad to Germany when he signed for Hallescher FC on a two–year contract in July 2014. He previously went on a trial at Halle and impressed the club’s management that convinced him a contract. Upon moving abroad, he admitted hesitant to move to Germany because he was on his own, but managed to overcome the fear.

Osawe made his Halle debut in the opening game of the season, in a 3–0 loss against Chemnitzer FC on 26 July 2014.  Seven days later, on 2 August 2014, he scored his first goals, in a 5–1 win over Arminia Bielefeld. However, he suffered a goal drought for the most part of the season until he scored his first goal since August on 14 March 2015, in a 3–1 win over Energie Cottbus.  He scored four more league goals against Rot-Weiß Erfurt,  Holstein Kiel, Jahn Regensburg and 1. FSV Mainz 05 II.  Osawe also scored twice in the final of Saxony-Anhalt Cup, in a 6–0 win over VfL Halle 1896.[31] In his first season at Hallescher FC, he made thirty–two appearances and scored seven times.

As Osawe became the club’s fan favourite among supporters, the club started open a contract negotiation with Osawe. He then scored his first goal of the season on 16 August 2015, in a 2–1 loss against FC Magdeburg. By September, he added two more goals against Stuttgart and Rot-Weiß Erfurt. Osawe scored his first hat–trick of his professional career, in a 6–2 win over Werder Bremen II, which followed up when he scored two goals in two matches against Chemnitzer and Fortuna Köln He added two more goals against Holstein Kiel and Sonnenhof Großaspach. He, once again, scored and set up a goal, in the final
