Jason Kerr, born on 6 February 1997 (age 29), is a Scottish central defender with Hibernian, where he wears squad number 6. He is an established first-team player rather than a name requiring much embroidery.
Kerr’s early development was helped by a productive loan at East Fife in 2016-17. For a centre-half, eight goals in 33 league appearances was a useful return, though the regular senior football mattered more than the scoring column.
At Hibernian in 2026-27, he has made six league appearances and two in the League Cup, along with five in Conference League qualifying. His one goal for the club this season has come in those European qualifiers, leaving him on 13 appearances and one goal across all competitions.
Kerr’s career has been built on steady defensive work, with that East Fife season standing out as the early spell where regular football pushed him on. He remains part of Hibernian’s first-team picture as an experienced Scottish centre-back.
