O'Hara was in the stands to watch Wolves' FA Cup tie against Stoke after undergoing a medical and the completion of his temporary switch to Molineux was announced shortly after the game. The 24-year-old had a spell on loan at Portsmouth last season but has not featured at first-team level at White Hart Lane this season because of a back injury. The former England Under-21 international has featured in two recent full-scale practice matches with Spurs and was eager to go out on loan again in order to regain full match-sharpness. West Ham were also interested in signing O'Hara but Mick McCarthy has won the battle to secure his services. McCarthy said: "Jamie is a good player and will add quality to our squad and hopefully improve us as a team. "He has been injured, he has recovered from that, and he is fine and needs a bit of game time. "He is also a good personality around the place, a good positive signing for us.'' McCarthy was disappointed to exit the cup at the last-32 stage courtesy of Robert Huth's second-half header from a Matthew Etherington free-kick. He said: "The missed penalty (by Milijas) does not make me unhappy with the performance. "It is indicative of our performance because it is a missed opportunity. "Ultimately we gave away a needless free-kick and got punished by Stoke who do it better than anyone else with free-kicks, corners and throw-ins. "We dealt with it well most of the time - but not that occasion."
