Shortly after his loan spell finished, Kabba joined Sheffield United in November 2002 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 1 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 2004-5 Football League Championship season.
On December 22, 2006, Kabba was placed on the transfer list along with 7 other players.[1] 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.[2] He never started a Premiership games for the Blades, his last appearance being as a substitute against West Ham United in November 2006.
