Mark O'Hara

Mark O'Hara of St Mirren was born in Barrhead, Scotland on 12 December 1995 (age 30).

Mark O'Hara, born on 12 December 1995 (age 30), is a Scottish central midfielder with St Mirren. His career has been shaped less by noise than by steady senior football, including early loan spells that gave him the sort of practical grounding young midfielders either use or waste.

O'Hara has become an important first-team player at St Mirren, with his best attacking league season coming in 2022–23, when he scored 10 goals in 35 appearances. That return gave a clearer picture of what he could offer from midfield when given responsibility and regular minutes.

He remains a regular presence in 2025–26. O'Hara has made 23 league appearances, along with six in the League Cup, two in the Scottish Cup and two in the Premiership play-offs, taking him to 33 appearances across all competitions for St Mirren this season. The goals have not followed this time, but his place in the side has held.

His current market value is around £595,000, according to Transfermarkt. O'Hara's career is that of a reliable Scottish Premiership midfielder: developed through loans, productive at his peak with St Mirren, and still involved regularly in the first team.

His 10 additional cup and play-off appearances underline a trusted central-midfield role across competitions, while one yellow card suggests a controlled defensive profile rather than a disruptive one.

O'Hara's career has moved through Dundee, Peterborough United, Lincoln City, Motherwell and St Mirren, with his most productive scoring spell coming after the 2022 move to Paisley. The available record shows 10 goals in 2022-23, then six, four and none in the following three St Mirren seasons, a clear decline in attacking output as he moved into his thirties.

O'Hara's transfer history points to a player who stepped into English football with Peterborough United, then returned to Scotland through loans and permanent moves. The 2022 free transfer from Motherwell to St Mirren was the key stabilising move, and the absence of major fees since leaving Dundee suggests his value has been built more on reliability than upward-market momentum.
