Ottawa Redblacks (first stint)
In 2014, Kanneh signed a contract with the Ottawa Redblacks of the CFL and played three years for the team, winning his first Grey Cup championship in 2016.[2]
Hamilton Tiger-Cats
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats signed Kanneh to their roster in 2017, but his injury-plagued campaign led to him only dressing in seven games that year.
Toronto Argonauts
On the day of 2018 training camp cuts, on June 10, 2018, Kanneh was traded to the Toronto Argonauts for an eighth-round pick in the 2019 CFL Draft.[3] He played in 24 games for the Argonauts over two years, recording 95 defensive tackles, one sack, and one interception. He became a free agent in 2020.
Ottawa Redblacks (second stint)
Upon entering free agency, Kanneh signed with his original CFL team, the Redblacks, on February 11, 2020 to a one-year contract.[4] He re-signed with Ottawa on January 25, 2021.[5] Kanneh played in eight games for the Redblacks in 2021, contributing with 28 defensive tackles, three interceptions and one touchdown.
