The 21-year-old midfielder's return adds depth and experience to the squad
Topics covered
In a significant move during the winter transfer window, Ross County has re-signed Nohan Kenneh on loan, adding a fresh dynamic to their midfield. The 21-year-old defensive midfielder, who previously made a notable impact at the club, returns after a stint at Shrewsbury Town in League One.
His arrival is expected to bolster the team’s performance as they aim to climb the league standings.
Kenneh’s journey back to Ross County
Nohan Kenneh, an international player from Liberia, first joined Ross County on loan during the latter half of the 2022/23 season.
During that time, he made 11 appearances in the Premiership, contributing significantly to the team’s efforts to maintain their top-flight status. His ability to control the midfield and break up opposition play was crucial in those matches. After a season at Shrewsbury Town, where he gained valuable experience, Kenneh is now back at County, ready to make an impact once again.
Impact on the squad
Ross County manager Don Cowie expressed his enthusiasm about Kenneh’s return, highlighting the midfielder’s previous contributions to the team. Cowie stated, “We are pleased to bring Nohan back to the club. He had a really positive impact on the team in his first spell and played an important part in retaining our Premiership status.” Kenneh’s familiarity with the squad and the league will undoubtedly aid in his integration, allowing him to hit the ground running as the season progresses.
Future prospects for Kenneh and Ross County
With Kenneh’s contract with Hibernian set to expire this summer, there is potential for a permanent move to Ross County if he impresses during his loan spell. This situation adds an intriguing layer to his return, as both the player and the club look to solidify their futures. For now, Cowie is focused on the immediate benefits Kenneh brings to the team, especially as they prepare to face third-placed Aberdeen in an upcoming match. The addition of Kenneh is seen as a strategic move to enhance the squad’s depth and competitiveness in the league.
