O' Hara Joins!
Posted on: Sun 30 Jan 2011
Wolves have landed highly-rated Tottenham and England-under-21 midfielder Jamie O'Hara on loan until the end of the season.
The talented midfielder, who has operated both centrally and on the left hand side, has completed a medical and agreed to move to Molineux for the remainder of the campaign.
He was at Molineux for today's FA Cup tie with Stoke with the paperwork completed in time for him to meet the rest of the squad and then watch the match from directors box.
O'Hara, 24, emerged through Tottenham's Academy but had loan spells with Chesterfield and Millwall at the start of his career.
He has made over 50 appearances in total for Spurs, including in European competition and the final of the 2009 League Cup, and has scored three goals.
But it was on loan at Portsmouth last season that he further impressed, scoring three goals in 29 appearances and helping the club to the FA Cup Final where he played in the 1-0 defeat to Chelsea.
He was Pompey's star performer despite their relegation, and Wolves fans present at Fratton Park on the penultimate weekend of last season will be well aware of how impressive a campaign the midfielder enjoyed.
O'Hara is yet to figure this season after a back injury, but has played in two training ground friendlies and is fit again and keen to enjoy regular football.
O'Hara, who has seven England-under-21 caps, follows Adam Hammill and Leigh Griffiths through the Molineux entrance door this month, while Wolves have also been in for Steve Sidwell and a loan move for Jonathan Woodgate.
A lifelong Spurs fan, he is contracted at White Hart Lane until 2013.
