Career

Bashiru arrived to Israeli club Hapoel Petah Tikva as part of a loan agreement with his club in Ghana.^[3] While he faltered early, he managed to improve as time went by with Hapoel and the club is going to pick up the option to purchase him for US $100,000.^[4]

Osman transferred to Brunei DPMM FC as the Brunei team were preparing for their readmission to the 2012 S.League.^[5]

Osman returned to Ghana in 2013 and signed a season's deal with Kumasi Asante Kotoko helping them to the championship that season but lack of enough playing time meant the striker will sign for regional rivals Obuasi Ashantigold in the summer of 2014
