Patrick Osiako (born 15 November 1986, in Mombasa) is retired a Kenyan footballer who turned out for Coast Stars and Tusker in Kenya, Mjällby AIF,[1] FC Linköping City, IFK Haninge, IFK Hässleholm and Syrianska Eskilstuna IF in Sweden, Petrolul Ploieşti[2][3] in Romania, Hapoel Be'er Sheva[4][5] in Israel, and Simurq in Azerbaijan as a midfielder.
Career
Osiako played for Coast Stars aged just 16 in the 2003–04 season before later crossing over to Tusker for a season and a half.
In December 2007, Osiako was signed by Superettan side Mjällby AIF on a two-and-a-half-year contract.[6] His contract with Mjällby expired at the end of the 2009 season;[6] however, he signed a new two-year contract with Mjällby shortly after.
Following Osiako's release from Mjällby trained with Sölvesborgs whilst exploring options in Russia[7] before having a trial with Romanian side Petrolul Ploiești.[8] In March 2012, following a successful trial, Osiako signed a two-month contract with Petrolul Ploiești.[9] After the expiration of his contract Osiako considered a new contract from Petrolul Ploiești[10] before signing for Hapoel Be'er Sheva.
In August 2013, Osiako signed for Azerbaijan Premier League side Simurq from Hapoel Be'er Sheva.[11] When Osiako made his debut for Simurq on 3 August 2013, coming on as an 87th-minute substitute for Stjepan Poljak in their 2–0 victory over Ravan Baku,[12] he became only the second Kenyan to play in the Azerbaijan Premier League after Allan Wanga. Osiako scored his first goal for Simurq on 1 November 2013, in their 3–2 away defeat to Baku.[13]
International career
Osiako earned his first call up to the Kenya national football team in February 2005[14] while at Tusker then coached by Mohamed Kheri for a game against Botswana in a 2006 Nations Cup/World Cup qualifier.
A year and a half later under caretaker coach Tom Olaba,[15] Osiako got his first international cap in a friendly game against Tanzania that ended in a 0–0 draw at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam on 4 October 2006.[16] Osiako went on to earn 13 National caps between 2006 and 2013.
