[edit] Club career

[edit] Early career

Born in Leeds, West Yorkshire, Kerr started his career in the youth system at Bradford City as a trainee before signing a professional contract on 4 July 2000.[1] He left Bradford to join Yorkshire rivals Hull City, playing in the Third Division, for a nominal fee on 18 June 2001.[2][3] He spent his first season at Hull on the injury list with a back injury and when fit for his second season failed to make an impression.[3] In September 2002 he joined Northern Premier League side Frickley Athletic on loan, scoring on his debut against Harrogate Town on 17 September 2002. After a month at Frickley he returned to Hull but failed to make the first team and in March 2003 he left the club without making a single senior appearance. He joined Football Conference team Scarborough on a contract until the end of the 2002–03 season in March 2003.[4]

[edit] Lincoln City

Kerr expressed his desire to leave Scarborough in June 2005 in order to return to the Football League and held talks with Barnet and Lincoln City.[5] He opted to sign for Lincoln on a two-year contract on 1 July.[6] He enjoyed an impressive debut season for Lincoln, under then manager, Keith Alexander, helping them reach their fourth successive play-off spot (albeit an unsuccessful one). The style of football played under Alexander, however, often undermined Kerr's ability as a midfielder, despite his presence being felt throughout the campaign. The 2006–07 season, however, under head coach John Schofield, meant that Kerr was able freely showcase his abilities. Kerr, as a consequence, formed a solid partnership with Lee Frecklington in the middle of the park for Lincoln, helping them in their promotion push for the fifth successive season.

In the 2008–09 season, Kerr continued to captain the side and be a creative influence. Following the sale of Frecklington to Peterborough in January 2009, Kerr found himself playing with a number of midfield partners as Peter Jackson experimented to find the best combination, after trying to play alongside Shane Clarke and Stefan Oakes. Jackson decided to bring Michael O'Connor in on loan from Crewe Alexandra. Kerr started to flourish due to the freedom O'Connor gave him and Kerr scored his first goal of the season in the Imp's 2–0 win at Accrington Stanley in April, He scored his second in the same match. His improved league form saw him named as the fans player of the year at the last match of the season against Aldershot Town. Prior to this only five days before he was named as the clubs official website's player of the year. Kerr provided the assist for all three goals City scored against Northwich Victoria in the FA Cup second round, in a game he also received man of the match.

[edit] York City

Kerr playing for York City in 2011

Kerr was released from his Lincoln contract to sign for Conference National club York City on a one-and-a-half-year contract on 31 January 2011.[7] He was set to join the club on loan in November 2010 after being out of the team at Lincoln, but after reestablishing himself the move no longer appealed to him.[8][9] He made his debut a day after signing in a 4–1 victory over league leaders AFC Wimbledon.[10] He was stand-in captain for a 2–1 defeat at Cambridge United on 19 March.[11][12] Kerr was sent off for the first time as a York player for a second bookable offence in a 1–0 victory over Luton Town on 19 April.[13] He finished the 2010–11 season with 16 appearances for York.[14]

Kerr scored his first goal as a York player with the winning goal in a 1–0 victory over Grimsby Town in the FA Trophy quarter-final on 25 February 2012.[15]

[edit] International career

Kerr earned nine caps and scored one goal for the England National Game XI from 2004 to 2005.[16] He represented the team in the 2004 Four Nations Tournament. The 2005 Four Nations Tournament saw him score in the 3–2 victory against Scotland, a game which won England the tournament.

[edit] Personal life

He is a supporter of hometown club Leeds United.[17]
