Jason Kerr, born on 6 February 1997 (age 29), is a Scottish central defender with Hibernian, where he wears the number 6 shirt. His route has been a practical one, with regular senior football away from the bigger stage helping to shape him early on.
The key spell was at East Fife in 2016-17. Kerr played 33 league matches and scored eight goals, an unusually strong return for a centre-half and a useful sign of his threat in both boxes. More importantly, it gave him minutes, responsibility and the sort of education young defenders rarely get from sitting politely in a squad.
At Hibernian in 2026-27, Kerr has made eight league appearances, along with two in the League Cup and five in Conference League qualifying, scoring once in Europe. Across all competitions for Hibs, he has 15 appearances and one goal.
His career has been built on steady senior exposure: a productive early loan at East Fife, then an established role as a Scottish centre-half with Hibernian.
