In 2002, Osman moved to Olympic Beirut for a then-national record sum of $30,000;[2] he remained at the club when they changed their name to Tripoli.[3] Between 2007 and 2009,[4] Osman played for cross-city rivals Egtmaaey;[5] he joined Salam Zgharta in 2009,[6] with whom he played until 2011.[7][8]
