Mark O’Hara, born on 12 December 1995 (age 30), is a Scottish central midfielder whose career began at Kilmarnock and has, after a fair bit of travelling, brought him back into their first-team picture.
His early years at Rugby Park were not a straight run into settled senior football. Loan spells formed part of his development, giving him the sort of minutes and rough edges that young midfielders tend to need before anyone is fully convinced. That grounding helped him build a career beyond prospect status.
O’Hara’s most productive league campaign came later, with St Mirren in 2022-2023, when he scored 10 goals in 35 appearances. For a central midfielder, that was a useful return rather than a footnote, and it remains the clearest attacking spike in his career.
He is now back with Kilmarnock and still a regular first-team presence in 2025-2026, with 23 league appearances and no league goals. His current market value is around £595,000, according to Transfermarkt.
O’Hara’s career has been shaped by Kilmarnock, loan football, and a strong spell at St Mirren. He remains an established Scottish Premiership midfielder rather than a passing squad name.
