Hibernian has made a significant addition to their squad by signing Jason Kerr from Wigan Athletic on a two-year deal. The 29-year-old centre-back, who previously captained Wigan, joins the club under freedom of contract after a successful five-year stint with the Latics. Kerr, a boyhood Hibs supporter, brings a wealth of experience, having made 150 appearances in all competitions during his time in England. Manager David Gray expressed his delight at the signing, highlighting Kerr's leadership qualities and ability to perform at a high level. Gray stated that Kerr's experience will strengthen Hibernian defensively and that he can play in various roles across the back three. Sporting director Malky Mackay also praised Kerr, noting that he possesses all the attributes desired in a centre-back. This signing marks Hibernian's first of the summer, and fans are eager to see how Kerr will contribute to the team's success in the upcoming season.
