We are pleased to confirm the signing of defender Jason Kerr from Scottish Premiership side St. Johnstone.

The 24-year-old has played over 100 games for the Saints and captained his side to a Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup double earlier this year, form that helped the Edinburgh-born centre back earn recognition in the Scottish Premiership Team of the Season.

A Scotland U21 international, Kerr made his senior bow in a loan spell at East Fife, helping the Fife win the Scottish League Two title in his debut campaign, at the age of 18.

Kerr has played over 200 senior games and adds further strength to Leam Richardson’s defence after completing his Deadline Day move.

Welcome to Latics, Jason.
