Club Career
Born in Accra, Osei began his career in 2001 with regional club Echomog, and moved to Suhum Maxbees of the Poly Tank Division One League a year later. He played for his third team in as many years in 2003, after transferring to Accra Hearts of Oak SC, before moving to Turkey to play for Akçaabat Sebatspor (then in the top flight), also in that year.
In 2004–05, Osei joined A.S. Livorno Calcio of Serie A, going much unnoticed for the majority of the season. In two appearances in May, he played in consecutive defeats – where the team conceded 12 goals – against Parma F.C. and A.C. Siena.
The following season, Osei was loaned to FC Politehnica Timişoara, with the Romanian club having an option to buy him at the end of the season. He was eventually released by Livorno, and, after a brief spell in Germany with amateurs ASV Cham, returned to his country to play in the top level, representing in quick succession Wa All Stars and Liberty Professionals.
On 31 March 2009, Osei signed with Major League Soccer's New England Revolution, being waived in January 2011.

—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“From a hasty glance through the various tests I figure it out that I would be classified in Group B, indicating “Low Average Ability,” reserved usually for those just learning to speak the English Language and preparing for a career of holding a spike while another man hits it.”
