Republic of Ireland keeper Kieran O'Hara rejoins Burton Albion on two-year deal

Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Kieran O’Hara has rejoined Burton Albion on a two-year deal.

The 24-year-old - who made his Ireland debut last year and has two caps - was a free agent following his release from Manchester United.

O’Hara spent last season on loan with Burton and impressed with 12 clean sheets for the League One side as he established himself as first-choice.

“After speaking to the manager I’m really excited to be coming back in and to a club that’s moving in the right direction,” he said.

“Last year was fantastic for me and the club gave me the opportunity to play lots of games to help me develop.

“Competition is really good for places and after being at Manchester United from such a young age, it’s something that I thrive on.

“I’m looking forward to the season ahead and will give everything for the fans and for my team.”

Albion boss Jake Buxton said: “We’ve signed not only a player from Manchester United, but he’s also a full international with Ireland.”
