Rugby union career

Amateur career

He has lifted the Brewin Dolphin Scottish Schools’ Cup on three occasions (under-16 and U18 twice) while attending George Watson's College.[1] Kerr has played for both Watsonians and Boroughmuir in the BT Premiership in his native Scotland.

Professional career

His professional performances contributed to a move to Leicester Tigers (on the 20th of September 2017) and inclusion in their 2017/2018 Aviva Premiership senior squad.[2] He was released in April 2021[3] and subsequently signed a short-term deal with Bristol Bears.[4]

International career

On 16 January 2019 Gregor Townsend named three hookers among seven uncapped players, for his Scotland Six Nations squad. Kerr was among those selected.[5]

Kerr came off the bench in Scotland's opening game of the 2019 Six Nations, a 33–20 win against Italy, to claim his first and only cap.
