Ross County have confirmed the loan signing of Nohan Kenneh from Hibernian for the remainder of the 2022/23 season.
The 20-year-old becomes manager Malky Mackay's first addition in the January transfer window, bolstering the Staggies' midfield options with a player who can boast a strong footballing background.
Spending a large part of his youth career with Leeds United, Nohan would eventually break in to the first team environment at Elland Road under both Marco Bielsa and Jesse Marsch.
His earlier performances for Leeds United at youth levels resulted in call ups and performances for England at under-16, under-17 and under-18 levels.
Originally born in Liberia, Kenneh moved to Hibs in the summer of 2022 and made 15 appearances for the Easter Road outfit in the first half of the cinch Premiership campaign – giving the defensive midfielder key experience behind him for his young age.
On the signing, Mackay has said, “Nohan was a player we had tracked previously and really enjoyed what he had offered in his youth days at Leeds United.
"He has already shown this season he has the ability and appetite to cope with the demands of the Scottish Premiership which is vitally important.”
“He has a good opportunity to come here and continue his development.
"He also has an opportunity to play his part in the second half of the campaign and I am sure he will no doubt show us the capabilities he has in the coming weeks and months ahead.”
