While yet to score, he has looked assured at the back and has fitted well the club&#8217;s unique style of play.<\/p>\n<h3>What Was Said?<\/h3>\n<p>Speaking to the official MK Dons website after completing the move, O&#8217;Hora said: &#8220;I\u2019m over the moon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve enjoyed my time with the Club ever since I arrived back in pre-season, so I\u2019m happy to be here on a permanent basis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m certainly enjoying my football here and hopefully that\u2019s showing on the pitch. Obviously now I want to get back on the pitch after my little injury setback.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery footballer wants to keep improving and developing, and I think MK Dons is the best place for me to do that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s a big ambition of mine to keep moving forward and I know I can do that with this Club &#8211; I\u2019m really excited for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Manager Russell Martin added: &#8220;It\u2019s brilliant news for the Football Club \u2013 in both the short-term and the long-term.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s been one of our best players this season and certainly earned this contract. The challenge for him now is to establish himself as a top player at this level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has also real leadership qualities which, now he\u2019s our player, we hope to see come through even more too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"QCp6t-LxRxpzuvvIqdpheA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1229721296\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'QCp6t-LxRxpzuvvIqdpheA',sig:'5G-ulY4d1JLq3wsXSCg4BzP7mKhJ4WvCwlyg203mvg0=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1229721296',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warren O&#8217;Hora has completed a permanent move to Milton Keynes Dons from Brighton &amp; Hove Albion.
