 The Heroic Age: Politics of Exile in Early Northumbria, N/B
Deira was likely part of a Humbrian overkingship with remaining ties to other kingdoms in the former province of Britannia Secunda like Rheged.
An Osric is not included among the sons of Æthelfrith in the HB or elsewhere but the name does fit stylistically with the known names of Æthelfrith's sons.
The annexation of Deira to the Bernician kingdom was also still very much a work in progress decreasing the likelihood that governance of the sub-kingdom or province could be trusted to a youth.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Oswald
Oswald's mother was Acha, daughter of Ella or Alla, who, after Ida's death, had seized Deira and thus separated it from the Northern Bernicia.
In the following year Osric was slain in battle, and Eanfrid treacherously murdered by the British king, Cadwalla.
Oswald was thoroughly grounded in the principles of the Christian religion, and, though but twelve nobles with whom he returned from exile were Christians, far from abandoning his faith, his first care was to spread it among the Bernicians, thus confirming the political union effected by Edwin with a religious union unknown before.

Northumbria is primarily the name of a petty kingdom of Angles which was formed in Great Britain at the beginning of the 7th century, from two smaller kingdoms of Bernicia and Deira, and of the much smaller earldom which succeeded the kingdom.
Edwin, who accepted Christianity in 627, soon grew to become the most powerful king in England: he was recognized as Bretwalda and conquered the Isle of Man and Gwynedd in northern Wales.
After Edwin's death, Northumbria was split between Bernicia, where Eanfrith, a son of Aethelfrith, took power, and Deira, where a cousin of Edwin, Osric, became king.

 A Teutonic History: Stone Age and onward - Jinxworld Forums
In the summer of 634 C.E. King Osric of Deira, Edwin's kinsman, is said to have had Cadwallon under heavy siege "...in a strong city...", but it nevertheless came to pass that, when Cadwallon had grown tired of his state, he ordered the doors thrown open and fell upon the Deirans with a great fury.
This meant of course, that Deira was now effectively a part of Mercia, and whatever Oswui might have threatened upon his nephew, it now stood as cause for Penda to lay yet another beating on him.
Ealdorman AEthelwald of Deira was also numbered amongst their ranks, but curiously enough, or perhaps not, Penda released the son of Oswald from his military obligations, and he acted strictly as a guide.

[2] Edwin of Deira was in exile during the reign of Aethelfrith.
If we trust the syntax of the entry, which Moisl does, then this Osric son of Alfred was the grandson of Áedán mac Gabráin, and his father, presumably a Bernician exile, would then be the earliest attested royal Bernician to have been in Ireland.
On the death of Edwin, Eanfrith, one of the three sons of Aethelfrith, who had been in exile among the Picts during the reign of Edwin,[30] returned to become King of the Bernicians.
