Coventry City news from CoventryLive as fan favourite opens up on his last few ‘frustrating’ months with the Sky Blues

Speaking to BBC Radio Sheffield after scoring in a 4-1 pre-season win at Harrogate Town, the attacking midfielder suggested part of the reason he wanted to go to United was to “play all the time,” revealing that he was “frustrated” after being left out of the team by Mark Robins following his outstanding comeback from injury when he scored a flurry of goals in a short space of time midway through last season.

Asked why he chose Sheffield United, O’Hare said: “The manager had the trust in me. I know that there were a lot of teams interested but, for me, it’s just about playing football and showing what I can do. So I feel like after the last couple of years that I have had, being able to do that and show everyone what I can do is what I want to do this year, and that’s the main reason why I came here, to get the chance to play all the time. That’s what I love doing the most and what footballers want to do, play football.

“Obviously I got injured and came back and I was flying. And then things happened and I was took out of the team, so it was just a frustrating one. I just want to be playing football, so, for me the motivation is to just get on the pitch and excite the fans and win football games, and that’s what I am here to do.”
