Mark O'Hara, a notable fixture on the Scottish football scene, was born in Scotland on 12th December 1995, making him 29 years old. Paying little mind to the hustle and bustle of the midfield, O'Hara's primary position at St Mirren is central midfielder, where his 6ft 2in (1.88m) frame and weight of 12st 8lb (80kg) provide him with a substantial presence. This sizeable stalwart fields the number 6 jersey.
According to Transfermarkt, O'Hara's current market value is approximately £600k. As for his contract with St Mirren, it has a mere 1 year and 1 month before it departs company with the calendar on 31st May 2026.
O'Hara's footballing journey began in July 2012 when he joined Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership as a trainee. Over his four-year tenure, O'Hara made a significant contribution to the team across multiple seasons, with his appearances ranging from 14 to 29 times in league matches each season.
In July 2016, O'Hara transferred his loyalties, moving from Kilmarnock to Dundee, also in the Scottish Premiership, for an undisclosed fee. Here he continued his pattern of solid performance, with 32 first team appearances and a handful of goals in the 2017-2018 season.
July 2018 saw a geographical shift for O'Hara as he transferred from Dundee to Peterborough United in England's League One, also for an undisclosed fee. However, his time with Peterborough was fleeting, and by January 2019 he was on loan to Lincoln City. After his stint in England, O'Hara returned to Scotland, transferring to Motherwell in the Premiership, initially on loan in September 2019.
In what appears to be a trend, O'Hara only stayed with Peterborough United for a brief spell before transferring to Motherwell on a permanent basis in July 2020. His time at Motherwell was marked by consistent performance, with steady appearances in the 17-27 range and a smattering of goals each season.
O'Hara's exploration of the Scottish Premiership clubs continued as he moved to St Mirren in July 2022. His performance has been steady since the transfer, racking up a fair number of goals and appearances. His current season, 2024-2025, has so far seen him make 32 first team appearances, scoring four goals in league matches.
Besides his regular season appearances, O'Hara has had the thrill of participating in the Scottish Cup 2024-2025 for St Mirren, making two starts, and the Conference League Qualifiers 2024-2025, scoring one goal in his two starts.
