Midfielder Jamie O'Hara may find it difficult to rebuild Wolves career
Jamie O'Hara was today told he will find it 'difficult' to rescurrect his Wolves career as Kenny Jackett continues to distance himself from the old guard.
The £5m midfielder has flown to Los Angeles for three weeks of intensive one-to-one training with EXOS, a leader in performance training for elite and professional athletes.
O'Hara has splashed out a substantial five-figure sum in a desperate attempt to rescue his career after his agent proposed the idea and the club agreed to it.
At 27 and with two years left on his £20,000-a-week contract, O'Hara has made the decision after struggling to regain his full sharpness and mobility ever since returning from three hernia operations in December 2012.
The club's most expensive midfielder now finds himself sixth choice in his position.
And head coach Jackett admitted: "His Wolves career now depends on the progress of the people ahead of him - on how our young midfielders perform.
"For Jamie to shift them, with the way they're playing, will be difficult."
Even on talent alone, Jackett feels Kevin McDonald and Jack Price are right up alongside O'Hara.
"I wouldn't say he's the most talented midfielder at the club," he said.
