Jason Kerr

Jason Kerr has made 11 Premiership appearances – all starts – in 2026-27, and has also appeared twice in the League Cup and five times in the Conference League Qualifiers, scoring once in the qualifiers; those usage patterns underline his role as a regular starting centre back for Hibernian and a trusted option across domestic and European matches.

Kerr averages a 7.09 rating this season, peaking at 7.87 and dropping to 6.55 – that relatively narrow range points to consistent, dependable performances across league and cup appearances so far in 2026-27.

Jason Kerr is 29, is Scottish and plays as a central defender for Hibernian. His early career featured loan moves involving East Fife and Queen of the South in 2017–18 before he established himself at St Johnstone; he moved to Wigan Athletic for a 500,000 fee in August 2021 and spent several seasons there prior to joining Hibernian in July 2026.

Kerr’s transfers include a series of early loans – a move to Queen of the South in August 2017 with a recall in January 2018 and a loan-related matter with East Fife in May 2017 – followed by a permanent transfer from St Johnstone to Wigan Athletic for a 500,000 fee in August 2021 and a free transfer to Hibernian in July 2026, illustrating a path from domestic loans to a paid move into the English game and a subsequent return to the Scottish Premiership.
