The 19-year-old has put pen-to-paper on a three-year pre-contract agreement and will join up with Lee Johnson’s men when his contract at English Premier League side Leeds United expires at the end of next month.

Kenneh has been dubbed one of the most promising youngsters coming through in the English top-flight and will add extra versatility to the Hibees.

The 6ft 2’ youngster progressed through Leeds United’s Academy and made their Premier League matchday squad on 13 occasions. Alongside this, he was a regular in their Premier League 2 campaign and featured against Men’s First Teams in the EFL Trophy.

Born in Liberia, Kenneh has also been capped by England’s U16s and U17s.

On the signing, Manager Lee Johnson commented: “We’re delighted to welcome Nohan to Hibernian FC. He adds something extra to our squad and although his primary position is defensive midfield, he also offers us the versatility to play at the back.

“He’s a young player with a big presence and a lot of quality. He has a real desire to develop and play First Team football regularly.

“Nohan has had interest from around the UK and abroad, so this signing is a real coup for us. To reach his potential, he has to have the right attitude and desire to be the best he can.

“We are looking forward to working with him and welcoming him to the Hibs family.”

Head of Recruitment, Ian Gordon, added: “Nohan is a really exciting young player that has a lot of potential and a number of quality attributes that will fit our style of play.

“This fits the model we are trying to introduce here at Hibernian FC, bringing in young, talented players that will not only strengthen our First Team, but ones that we can develop into even better players. This is a really positive signing for the Club.”
