Hibernian FC has made a significant move in the transfer market by signing experienced centre-back Jason Kerr on a two-year deal, keeping him at the club until Summer 2028. The 29-year-old joins Hibernian after a successful stint at Wigan Athletic in EFL League One, where he made 150 appearances and captained the team during the 2025/26 season. This signing marks the first of the Summer Transfer Window for Head Coach David Gray as he prepares for the 2026/27 campaign. Kerr, an Edinburgh native, brings a wealth of experience to Easter Road, having played nearly 400 senior matches throughout his career. His leadership qualities and defensive skills are expected to bolster Hibernian's backline significantly. Upon signing, David Gray expressed his excitement about adding a player of Kerr's caliber, highlighting his high-level performance and desire to compete in Scotland. Sporting Director Malky Mackay also emphasized the importance of Kerr's experience, noting that he will be a valuable asset for the younger players in the squad. Hibernian welcomes Jason and his family to the club and looks forward to his contributions on the pitch.
