Jason Kerr, born on 6 February 1997 (age 29), is a Scottish central defender with Hibernian, where he wears the number six shirt.
His early senior development was helped by a loan spell at East Fife in 2016-17. It was unusually productive for a centre-half: eight league goals in 33 appearances, the best scoring league season of his career. That kind of return can make a defender look more glamorous than he is, but it also pointed to a player comfortable attacking the ball in both boxes.
Kerr is now part of the Hibernian first-team picture. In 2026-27 he has made seven league appearances, along with two in the League Cup and five in Conference League qualifiers, scoring once in Europe. Across all competitions for Hibs that gives him 14 appearances and one goal.
His career has been built less on noise than on steady centre-half work, with that East Fife spell standing out as the early period when he gained regular football and added a useful goal threat. At Hibernian, he remains an established Scottish defender with first-team responsibilities.
