Playing career
Youth
O'Ware spent five years in the Rangers youth system, then a further two at Kilmarnock.[1] He then signed for youth side Bonnyton Thistle,[2] where he was part of the team that won the Under-19 Scottish Cup final.[3]
Morton
O'Ware joined Greenock Morton in 2011.[2] He made his début at left back in a Scottish Cup tie against Deveronvale on 19 November 2011.[4] O'Ware also had a trial at EFL Championship side Middlesbrough.[1] He broke into the Morton team at left back due to an injury to Ross Forsyth.
In January 2012, O'Ware suffered a stress fracture to his tibia making him miss at least a month of Morton's season.[5] O'Ware agreed one-year contracts with Morton in 2013,[6] 2014[7] and 2015.[8]
In April 2016, O'Ware agreed his first ever two-year deal with the club.[9] He won the Scottish Championship Player of the Month award for October 2016.[10] After the sacking of manager Jim Duffy in May 2018, O'Ware left the club by 'mutual consent'.[11]
Partick Thistle
O'Ware signed a two-year contract with Partick Thistle in June 2018.[12] He scored his first goal for the Jags on 14 August 2018, opening the scoring in a 5–0 win at Stranraer in the Scottish Challenge Cup.[13][14] On 25 August 2018, O’Ware was substituted four minutes into the game against Dundee United due to a knee injury,[15] and it was later revealed that he would miss the remainder of the season as a result.[16]
International
O'Ware represented Scotland at schoolboy level in 2011.[17]
