Motherwell boss Stephen Robinson secures midfielder Mark O’Hara on loan

Motherwell manager Stephen Robinson finally got his man after signing former Kilmarnock and Dundee midfielder Mark O’Hara on a season-long loan from Peterborough.

The 23-year-old attacking player scored four goals in 29 games for Peterborough last season before joining Lincoln on loan in January and helping them to promotion up to Sky Bet League One.

“Mark adds something to our midfield that we didn’t previously have,” Robinson told Motherwell’s official website after making his 11th summer signing.

“We have been chasing him for a number of windows now, so we are delighted to have him.

“We are disappointed Craig has chosen to leave, but we respect his decision,” Robinson said.

“It’s been a long road back to fitness for him and he’d done brilliantly well to get back onto the pitch and playing football again.

“We were keen to continue that push for match sharpness. But Craig has decided he’d rather continue his career elsewhere and we wish him all the very best of luck.”

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
