Official | Gabriel Osho joins Auxerre from Luton

AJ Auxerre have announced the signing of Gabriel Osho (25), whose contract at recently relegated Luton Town expired earlier this month.

Auxerre will once again compete in Ligue 1 next season, following their promotion from Ligue 2 last season. The club are looking to strengthen their squad in order to bolster their chances of remaining in France’s top-flight. However, the ongoing TV rights situation has made recruitment difficult, with aborted deals attributed to the LFP’s inability to secure a broadcaster for the coming season.

Osho represented a good opportunity. The centre-back was out of contract at Luton Town, who recent to the EFL Championship next season. During the Hatters’ one and only season in the Premier Leauge, the centre-back made 23 appearances in all competitions, including 21 league appearances.

However, he has left the Championship side for a new challenge, joining Auxerre on a free transfer on a one-year deal, with an option for a further two years. Osho will wear the No.3 jersey for his new club.
