Yanick Marinus Paulus van Osch (born 24 March 1997) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for club Dordrecht.
Club career PSV Van Osch began his football career with BLC in 's-Hertogenbosch before joining the PSV youth academy for the 2005–06 season. Van Osch signed a professional contract in June 2013 that was initially set to expire in 2016. However, the contract was later extended until 2018 in March 2016, and then again until 2020 in November 2017. On 2 October 2015, he made his debut for the reserve team, Jong PSV, in the Eerste Divisie at home against Achilles '29. He was promoted to the professional squad of head coach Phillip Cocu in September 2017, but failed to make an appearance for the first team.
Fortuna Sittard On 12 May 2020, Van Osch signed a two-year contract, with the option of a third year, with Fortuna Sittard effective as of 1 July, after becoming a free agent. He was initially signed as a backup to starting goalkeeper, Alexei Koșelev.
On 28 October 2020, he made his competitive debut for Fortuna in a 2–0 KNVB Cup victory against Roda JC. He made his first start in the Eredivisie three days later in a 5–2 loss to Ajax, and was a regular starter the remainder of the season, resulting in Koșelev being relegated to a backup role.
Van Osch remained a regular starter for Fortuna in the Eredivisie for the 2020–21 and 2021–22 seasons. However, he lost his starting position to Ivor Pandur at the beginning of the 2022–23 campaign and was subsequently relegated to a backup role. In March 2023, the club announced the formal termination of his contract in accordance with regulations, which meant that he was set to leave Fortuna at the end of the season.
Cambuur On 9 June 2023, Van Osch signed a three-year contract with Eerste Divisie club Cambuur, reuniting with former Fortuna manager Sjors Ultee. He immediately established himself as a starter on the first matchday of the season, in a 2–2 draw against Emmen.
RKC Waalwijk On 25 June 2024, Van Osch signed a two-year contract with an option for an additional year with Eredivisie club RKC Waalwijk. He was brought in as a replacement for the departing goalkeepers Etienne Vaessen and Mark Spenkelink.
Dordrecht On 17 September 2026, Van Osch signed with Dordrecht until the end of the 2026–27 season as an emergency replacement for injured Calvin Raatsie and Thomas Artic.
International career Van Osch was a youth international for the Netherlands. He played three matches for the Netherlands under-16s, and eleven matches for the national U17 team, with whom he participated in the 2014 UEFA European Under-17 Championship, reaching the final. He also played for the under-18 team and was a regular starter for the Netherlands under-19 team, making 16 appearances for the team, with whom he reached the semi-finals of the 2016 UEFA European Under-19 Championship in Germany. After one match for the under-20 national team, he made his debut for the Jong Oranje (Netherlands U21) on 27 March 2017 in a four-nations tournament in Spain against Austria.
