Albion defender Warren O’Hora has joined League One side MK Dons on a season-long loan.

The club’s young player of the year will come under the guidance of former Norwich City and Scotland centre-back Russell Martin, who comes from Brighton.

O’Hora, now 21, signed for the Seagulls in January 2018 from Bohemians and has been a regular for Simon Rusk’s under-23s, making 15 appearances last season.

Albion technical director Dan Ashworth said: “Warren made really good progress in the under-23s last season and going out to a good League One club is the next stage of his development.

“We will be monitoring his progress closely at MK Dons and wish him well for the new season.”
