O'Hara signs new contract with United

The 21-year-old, who has been a regular in the Reserves this season, has been rewarded for his progress with fresh terms.

Although born locally, the goalkeeper represents Republic of Ireland at international level and has forced his way into their Under-21 squad.

"Since I joined United, it has been everything I expected it to be," he said. "The club gives you all the guidance that you need from experienced coaches to improve every single day. 

"But I know that the hard work has just started and that I need to continue to listen and give everything in training and the matches we have coming up.

"I know I’m at the right place to continue my development as a young player and I’m thrilled to have signed a new contract."

Another young prospect committed his future to United earlier this month when it was announced that Angel Gomes had signed his first professional contract as a Red.

"This club is renowned for giving home grown players opportunities to progress into the first team and that was a major factor in me signing my first professional contract at this great club," the 17-year-old explained.

"I am still young but I am looking forward to continuing my development with the help of the coaching staff and I will take every opportunity that comes my way."
