He was the first Aberdeen player to be capped at international level for any team,[2] making an appearance for Ireland in April 1907 (his sixth cap overall at that stage),[3][4] a year before teammate Willie Lennie made his Scotland debut. He later served with the Leinster Regiment and Highland Light Infantry during the First World War.[5]

O'Hagan was Norwich City's sixth manager, and was in charge for 21 matches between 1920 and 1921; his sides won 4 games, lost 8 and drew 9.[6]

His nephew Willie O'Hagan, a goalkeeper, was also an Irish international.[3]
