Career
Kilmarnock
A member of Kilmarnock's under-20 squad O'Hara made his first team debut on 28 August 2012,[3] coming on as an 13th-minute substitute in a Scottish League Cup match against Stenhousemuir, replacing the injured Jeroen Tesselaar in a 2–1 defeat.[4] Aged just 16 on his debut, O'Hara became the fifth youngest person to play competitively for Kilmarnock and only the second youngest in that competition.[5] On 27 October 2012, he made his first start and league debut[6] in a 2–0 win over Celtic at Celtic Park,[7] Kilmarnock's first win at the venue since 1955.[8]
Dundee
O'Hara signed for Dundee in June 2016.[9] Upon signing for Dundee, he was moved into an attacking midfield position by manager Paul Hartley, who said he didn't know why O'Hara had previously been playing as a defender.[10] On 13 August 2016, he scored his first career goal, in Dundee's 2–1 defeat against Rangers.[11][10] He then scored again in the following match, getting the equaliser in a 1–1 draw against Hamilton Academical.[12]
