Wolves Sign Defender Tara O’Hanlon Ahead of New Season
Wolves announced the signing of defender Tara O’Hanlon this morning through a post on their official club website.
At 21 years old, O’Hanlon comes to Wolves after spending two-and-a-half years at Manchester City. She transferred to City from Peamount United, a club in the SSE Airtricity League Women’s Premier Division, during the January 2024 transfer window. While at The Joie Stadium, she focused on her development, although opportunities in the first team were limited.
To gain experience, O’Hanlon was loaned out last season to Sunderland in Barclays WSL2 and to Celtic in the SWPL, where she secured crucial playing time at the senior level.
On the international front, O’Hanlon has represented the Republic of Ireland three times and previously played regularly for her nation’s youth teams.
O’Hanlon marks the 11th signing for Wolves in this summer transfer window. She will soon join her new teammates to finalize preparations for the upcoming Barclays WSL2 campaign, as Wolves aim to strengthen their team for a competitive season ahead.

The 21-year-old full-back joins Wolves off the back of a two-and-a-half-year spell with Manchester City. O’Hanlon joined The Cityzens from SSE Airtricity League Women’s Premier Division club Peamount United in the January 2024 transfer window. The defender continued her development during her time at The Joie Stadium, although first team minutes were not forthcoming.
O’Hanlon spent last season out on loan at Barclays WSL2 club Sunderland and SWPL side Celtic. Those loan moves allowed the player to get some vital minutes under her belt at senior level.
On the international stage, O’Hanlon has been capped by the Republic of Ireland on three occasions. She was also previously a regular in her nation’s youth sides.
O’Hanlon is Wolves’ 11th signing of the summer transfer window. The player will now link-up with her new club to complete the final pre-season preparations ahead of the new Barclays WSL2 campaign. Wolves have added plenty of quality to their ranks over the summer in a bid to compete strongly in the second tier this season.
