The 24-year-old earned his side a 1-0 win on April 13 when he curled in a long-range effort from more than 20 yards.

After neatly skipping past one defender his effort smashed the underside of the bar and crossed the line for his first Walsall goal from open play.

In League Two Osadebe is up against Callum Wright from Cheltenham and Tom Conlon at Port Vale.

The winner will be decided by a fan poll on the official League Two twitter account.

Voting is open from 10am today and closes on Monday, May 10. The winner will be announced on Friday, May 14.
