Jason Kerr (born 6 February 1997) is a Scottish professional footballer, who plays as a defender for St Johnstone.
Career
Kerr started his career at St Johnstone in 2014, spending two seasons on loan at East Fife from 2015 to 2017, winning the Scottish League Two title in the 2015–16 season.
On 10 August 2017, Kerr, along with St Johnstone team-mate Chris Kane, joined Scottish Championship club Queen of the South on loan until 31 January 2018.[1] On 21 October, Kerr scored the only goal at Glebe Park, Brechin in Queens 1–0 win over Brechin City and was subsequently sent-off in injury time with Ally Love of The City. However, Queens appealed the red card decision and this was overturned to a yellow card instead for unsporting behaviour.[2]
On 14 January 2018, Kerr was recalled to the Perth club when his loan spell in Dumfries ended with the Doonhamers.[3] Kerr made his debut appearance for St Johnstone on 29 January 2018, in a Scottish Cup fourth round 4–0 win against Albion Rovers at Cliftonhill.[4]
Ahead of the 2019–20 season, Kerr was named as St Johnstone's club captain, following the departure of Joe Shaughnessy.[5]
