However, he left Reading in November in search of regular first-team football. Osho managed just seven league appearances for the Royals.<\/p>\n<p>Luton eventually picked him up and he was immediately loaned out to Yeovil Town. He played four times for the Glovers before being recalled by Luton. A move to Rochdale offers regular EFL football- something Osho hasn\u2019t had on a consistent basis.<\/p>\n<p>His loan moves in his career have all been to sides in the National League. Maidenhead United, Aldershot Town and Yeovil. He did join <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/01\/21\/bristol-rovers-sign-defender-george-williams-on-a-permanent-deal\/\" target=\"_self\">Bristol Rovers<\/a> during the 2018\/19 season but didn\u2019t make a single appearance for them in <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/01\/20\/blackpool-land-ellis-simms-on-loan-from-everton\/\" target=\"_self\">League One<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Osho now gets an opportunity to enhance his football education and get some regular games under his belt. He joins a Rochdale side look to maintain their League One status. Dale are in a clustered pack of teams sat on 22 points, a single point clear of the relegation zone.<\/p>\n<p>Osho arrives hoping to shore up a Rochdale defence which has conceded 11 goals in their last four league games. Only Burton Albion and Swindon Town have conceded more than Brian Barry-Murphy\u2019s side this season. They have recently been scoring three to four goals a game just to get a result.<\/p>\n<p>Their new signing is in line for his Rochdale debut against Gillingham this weekend. A good chance for him to make an impression and Rochdale to pick up points against Steve Evans\u2019 inconsistent Gills.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<br \/>\n<a id=\"lk0P6UrrTvhWFALFHNhvyA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1225395343\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'lk0P6UrrTvhWFALFHNhvyA',sig:'qN6UPSYLoYV_FHfusGnWd7Nb_LYMA_EnKu3Q9wlupRw=',w:'594px',h:'395px',items:'1225395343',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Luton Town defender Gabriel Osho has joined Rochdale on loan for the remainder of the season.
