If Warren O’Hora is as decisive on the pitch as he is in making potentially career-defining choices, the Irish defender certainly won’t be caught dawdling at the heart of the Hibs back line. Once he’s clear on his course of action, the big fella goes for it. No holding back.
From what he calls the “pinch me moment” of taking that first call from Hibs, to agreeing terms and diving straight into life as a resident of Edinburgh, the 25-year-old has gone all in on this move at a crucial stage of his career. Which helps explain why, as soon as he got ‘home’ to Brighton after signing a three-year deal, he and partner Hannah decided not to take the suggested few days to pack up the house and make the move north.
A long drive up the road, with the car packed to the gunnels, followed immediately, O’Hora explaining part of the motivation for moving fast as he said: “Hannah and I have a little one on the way, hence why we’re trying to sort this out pretty quickly and get to know the area. We’ve already looked at a couple of places and we’re happy with the way it’s going; the club have been great, and I couldn’t have asked for anything more.
