Patrick Osborne (born (1987-06-14)14 June 1987) is a Fijian rugby union footballer. He plays as a winger for the Highlanders in Super Rugby^[1] and for Canterbury^[2] in the ITM Cup.

Playing career

Osborne made his ITM Cup debut for Canterbury against Hawke's Bay in 2010,^[3] and became a regular starter for the province the following year. His strong performances earned him a contract with the Crusaders squad for the 2012 Super Rugby season, but he didn't make any appearances in the competition. After being hobbled by a broken collarbone during the 2012 ITM Cup, he signed with the Chiefs for the 2013 Super Rugby season. He finished the Chiefs' title-winning season with two tries from 9 appearances, including 4 starts.

Looking for more playing time, Osborne signed with the Highlanders for two seasons. Osborne was regular started in the 2014 season but with some injuries he was out for a few weeks. Osborne scored his first try for the Highlanders against the Blues which was his debut. ^[4]
