Ireland goalkeeper Kieran O’Hara has signed a two-year deal with League One side Burton Albion after his contract ended at Manchester United. The 24-year-old’s form with the Brewers earned him a call-up to the Republic of Ireland senior squad and he earned his first two caps against Bulgaria and New Zealand last year. Burton manager Jake Buxton told the club’s website: “The first day I got the job I got in touch with Kieran and his agent regarding him coming back, which at first seemed unrealistic. “As things developed, Kieran’s desire to become a Burton Albion player became stronger and stronger and we’re delighted to get our number one target.”O’Hara added: “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.”Read MoreOnline Editors
