Bohemians in line for payday as MK Dons lodge bid for Warren O'Hora

MK Dons want to sign Brighton’s Warren O’Hora on a permanent deal - and that would land Bohs a payday.

The Dubliner, 21, joined the League One club in August on a season-long loan and has made 17 appearances in all competitions.

O’Hora has yet to make his first-team breakthrough at Brighton despite landing a one-year contract extension.

But MK Dons are hoping to tie up a permanent deal in this month’s transfer window and Bohs could profit from a modest five-figure sum if a transfer is sealed.

Dons boss Russell Martin confirmed today that a bid for the defender - who is playing alongside former Irish international Richard Keogh - has been tabled.

“We are trying to make it permanent,” said Martin.

“Warren has shown what a capable player he can be. He’s really improved. His mentality and attitude into developing himself and buying into what we’re trying to do is brilliant.

“I love his character, and for a young lad he’s a real leader. Of course, we’d love to make him ours and not just have him on loan.

“Brighton have been great in letting him out on loan and recognising Warren wants to progress and kick on, play regularly and call somewhere his home.

“Hopefully we’re getting close to being able to do that. I’m really pleased to work with him and there’s a lot of improvement still to make. He’s a player we want.”

O’Hora joined Brighton from Bohs in January 2018.
