Ex-Leeds United academy star Nohan Kenneh earns first senior international call-up

Former Leeds United academy star Nohan Kenneh has been handed his first senior international call-up for Liberia.

A report from All Africa has confirmed Kenneh has been included in a 25-man squad to play a doubleheader against South Africa under newly-appointed manager Ansu Keita in March.

The midfielder was born in Liberia and moved to the United Kingdom as a refugee at the age of six. He has previously represented England at youth level - amassing 16 caps for the under-15s, 16s and 17s combined.

He spent eight years in Leeds ' youth system after previous spells at Bradford City and York City. He established himself as a versatile member of the squad due to his ability to play at centre-back and as a holding midfielder.

The 20-year-old joined Scottish side Hibernian on a three-year deal back in the summer and made 19 appearances for them before being sent out on loan to Ross County in January.

Kenneh registered two assists on his home debut in a 3-0 victory over Kilmarnock, and has started six out of Ross County's last seven games.
