O’Hara signs permanent contract with Midlands club

Jamie O’Hara has left Tottenham and completed a permanent move to Premier League rivals Wolves on a five-year deal for an undisclosed fee, thought to be around �5million.

O’Hara was on loan at Molineux last season and played 14 games, scoring three goals.

The midfielder made no secret of his desire to remain in the Midlands and Wolves manager Mick McCarthy was understandably delighted that the deal had gone through.

“He showed some real quality when he was on loan with us last season, and that was having come back from not playing for eight months after a back operation,” he said.

“Despite that absence, he made a key contribution over the second half of the campaign, and with a full pre-season behind him he has the potential to get even better next season.

“He is a midfielder who is good on the ball, not afraid to put his foot in and also has an eye for goal.

“On top of that he is also a good character around the place who has a positive influence in the dressing room.”
