LEE JOHNSON has secured his second signing as Hibs boss as Nohan Kenneh agreed a three-year contract in Edinburgh.
The 19-year-old defensive midfielder signed a pre-contract deal to take him to Easter Road on the expiry of his terms at Leeds.
He'll link up with his Hibs team-mates at the end of June.
Kenneh has been capped at England under-16 and under-17 level and primarily plays as a defensive midfielder.
The versatile defensive-minded player featured in matchday squads for Leeds on 13 occasions last season and was a regular in the Premier League 2 side.
Hibs boss Lee Johnson said: “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.”
