Club

Fortuna Sittard and FC Oss

Conneh began his professional career in the Netherlands playing for Fortuna Sittard and Oss of the Eerste Divisie for a season each scoring a total of 11 goals from 45 appearances.

Bethlehem Steel FC

Ahead of the 2016 USL season, Conneh joined the newly formed Bethlehem Steel, the USL affiliate of the Philadelphia Union. His first season was limited by injury but managed 2 goals in 18 appearances for Steel FC.

Vojvodina

On 23 January 2019, after spending a month on a trial, Conneh signed a two-year-deal with Serbian club Vojvodina. Unfortunatelly, with the arrival of coach Nenad Lalatovic, who admitted in an interview to fkvojvodina.com that since his arrival, Conneh has been removed from the main team and that he didn´t even saw him neither has any interess in doing so, it clearly meant that the new coach´s discriminatory, anti-foreigners, stance meant Conneh was doomed to leave the club.

Las Vegas Lights

In December 2019, it was announced that Conneh was making his return to the USL Championship signing with Las Vegas Lights FC.

International

While raised in the Netherlands, Conneh was born in Liberia and represents them in international football.

Conneh has since been called up for Liberia's 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualification run.
