Player BIO

The Silkmen announced the signing of midfielder Elliot Osborne following his departure from Altrincham. The 30-year-old signed, having made just shy of 200 appearances for the Robins during four years at the J.Davidson Stadium. After beginning his career in the academy of Port Vale, he featured for a number of local Non-League sides, including Newcastle Town and Nantwich Town. He caught the eye of Fleetwood Town after a positive spell with the Dabbers, where he continued his development with loans at Stockport County, Tranmere Rovers, and Morecambe. After a permanent move to Southport, he then earned a move to the EFL with Stevenage under the stewardship of Alex Revell. He made his way back to the North West with his move to Altrincham in 2022, where he was part of the side that made it to the National League play-offs in 2023/24, losing to eventual winners Bromley. Osborne also captained the National League side as they knocked out 10-man Silkmen in the Isuzu FA Trophy in December 2024 via a penalty shootout.
