Stephen "Steve" Kabba (born 7 March 1981 in Lambeth)
is an English professional football player of Sierra Leonean origin. He
currently plays for Watford. He plays as a striker.
Kabba started his career at Crystal Palace but struggled to get into the
team, making just 11 appearances in 4 seasons and scoring 1 goal. He was
loaned out to Luton Town in 2001–02 making 3 appearances as a substitute
but it was during another loan spell at Grimsby Town the following
season that he finally made his mark with 6 goals in 14 games.
In November 2002, shortly after his loan spell finished, Kabba joined
Sheffield United for £250,000. In his first season his 11 goals in 33
games assisted the team in reaching two domestic cup semi-finals and the
Division One play-off final.
After this successful first season his career was interrupted by a
sequence of leg injuries allowing him just one appearance as a
substitute in over a year. He returned to fitness at the end of 2004–05
Championship season.
On December 22, 2006, Kabba was placed on the transfer list along with 7
other players. He joined Watford for an initial fee of £500,000 (which
is expected to rise to £750,000) on 26 January 2007, after signing a two
and a half year contract. He never started a Premiership games for the
Blades, his last appearance being as a substitute against West Ham
United in November 2006.
On January 31, 2007 he played his first Premiership match for Watford
against Manchester United.
On 2 February 2008 Kabba scored his first goal in nearly two years in a
3–0 league win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
