Ross County have swooped to take midfielder Nohan Kenneh on loan from Hibernian for the rest of the season.

The 20-year-old moved to Easter Road in the Summer after coming through at Leeds.

Lee Johnson has been keen to trim his squad down and is now looking to guarantee the defensive midfielder play time in the Highlands.

On the signing, Manager Malky 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.”

On the loan move, Hibernian FC Manager Lee Johnson commented: “In Nohan’s break-through season, he’s already made a considerable number of appearances.

“We believe this is the best move for him in the short and medium term to get starts and to continue his positive development.

“I will personally keep a very close eye on his performance at Ross County and will continue to communicate with him regarding his personal development plan.

“We look forward to seeing how this loan spell has benefitted him when he comes back in the summer.”
