Osvaldo Lopes (born 6 April 1980) is a French professional footballer.[1]

He played for his hometown club ES Fréjus, Montpellier HSC and LB Châteauroux in France before joining Plymouth Argyle in August 2002, although his debut was delayed due a delay with his international clearance.[2] He finally made his first team debut on 10 September in a 2-1 League Cup defeat away to Crystal Palace. His league debut came four days later when he replaced Martin Phillips as a second-half substitute in the 1–1 draw away to Barnsley. He was released by Plymouth at the end of the 2002–03 season.[citation needed]

He joined Cork City in September 2004 but made just three substitute appearances before leaving in December 2004.[3] He initially returned to France before returning to England to train with Torquay United.[4] He signed a one-month contract and played for Torquay in the 1–1 draw with Huddersfield Town on 8 January 2005, but this was to be his only game for Torquay before being released later that month.[5]

Within days of his release, he joined Conference North side Kettering Town.[6]
