Mark O’Hara, born on 12 December 1995 (age 30), is a Scottish central midfielder with Kilmarnock. He came through at Rugby Park, and an early loan spell at East Fife gave him senior football before he established himself more fully in the Kilmarnock first-team picture.
From there his career moved through Dundee and Peterborough United, with further loan football at Lincoln City and Motherwell. The Motherwell spell became a permanent move, a fairly typical Scottish career path in that it involved a fair bit of graft before the next settled step arrived.
That came at St Mirren, where his 2022-23 league season was his most productive: 10 goals in 35 appearances from midfield. For a player whose game is built more around presence, timing and reliability than fuss, that was a useful return.
O’Hara later returned to Kilmarnock. In 2026-27 he has made eight league appearances, along with six in the League Cup and two in the Scottish Cup, giving him 16 appearances across all competitions for the club. His current market value is around £425,000, according to Transfermarkt.
His career has been built across established Scottish clubs, with spells in England adding to the mileage. Kilmarnock is now again the setting for a midfielder who knows the league and the demands of regular first-team football.
