Career
Dundee
While growing up, Kerr supported Dundee as a boy and was a season ticket holder. He went on to sign for Dundee and was included in the first team as an unused substitute on the final day of the SPL season in 2012–13 against Hibernian.
In July 2013, Kerr was included in a number of first-team pre-season matches, where he featured as a right back. The first of those appearances came in a 5–1 win over Montrose, which he described as a "dream". Having been at Dundee for a couple of years, Kerr made his breakthrough into the first team in the 2013–2014 season, on 11 January 2014, appearing as a second-half substitute against Livingston. He made his first start on 12 April 2014, as Dundee beat Cowdenbeath. Kerr said making his first start was a great experience, adding that the win made it better. He went on to make two more appearances for Dundee, both as starts, in order to fill in for the suspended Gary Irvine. The club went on to win the Scottish Championship earning promotion to the Scottish Premiership. At the end of the 2013–14 season, Kerr signed a new deal at Dens Park to remain at the club for a further two years.
Kerr made his Scottish Premiership debut, coming on as a substitute for Jim McAlister in the 43rd minute, in a 2–1 loss against Ross County on 27 September 2014. After making another Premiership appearance, he was loaned out to Peterhead on a one-month loan deal on November 6 2014.
Peterhead (loan)
Kerr made his Peterhead debut on 8 November 2014, in a 1–1 draw against Dunfermline Athletic. He scored his first Peterhead goal on 6 December 2014, in a 3–2 win over Stirling Albion. On 9 January 2015, he extended his loan-spell until the end of the 2014–15 Scottish League One season. Weeks after extending his loan spell with the club, Kerr later added two more goals for the season against Stenhousemuir and Forfar Athletic. Kerr went on to make twenty appearances for the club.
Kerr was again loaned to Peterhead for a four month spell in August 2015 and made a further 10 appearances in the 2015–16 Scottish League One season.
Return to Dundee
Kerr was recalled from Peterhead early by Dundee in December 2015. He was awarded man-of-the-match in his first Scottish Premiership starting appearance, a Dundee derby victory over Dundee United on 2 January 2016.
