Championship strugglers Blackpool have signed Jamie O’Hara on a short-term deal and the midfielder will be with the club until at least 4 January.

The 28-year-old former Tottenham man was a free agent, having left Wolves after three seasons at Molineux.

Blackpool are currently adrift at bottom of the Championship after a very shaky start to the season and new manager Lee Clark is trying to revive their fortunes.

And former England U21 man O’Hara is delighted to have been given a chance by the Seasiders.

“Lee Clark gave me a call and I jumped at the opportunity. I'm desperate to get back on the football pitch. 

"I'm really happy to be on board and hopefully I can help the team get some points on the board quickly."  

O’Hara could make his debut for Blackpool against Leeds on Saturday.
