Scott Kerr, born in Leeds on 11 December 1981, started his footballing career as a junior at Bradford City. He went on to represent the team in both the Premiership and the UEFA Intertoto Cup. A natural midfielder, Kerr has spent most of his career playing for clubs in the Yorkshire/Lincolnshire region, however, has also dabbled in semi-professional international football.
Kerr left Bradford to join Yorkshire rivals Hull City, however, the season that he spent there was marred by injury therefore he could never settle into the squad, and consequently meant that he would leave the club without a senior appearance. This lead to his departure to Scarborough, where his impressive displays lead to him being called up to represent the England National Game XI in the 2004 Four Nations Tournament. The 2005 Four Nations Tournament saw him bag a goal in the 3-2 victory against the Scotland National Game XI, a game which won England the tournament.
In the 2005/06 transfer window, due to Scarborough's rapid decline, Kerr opted to sign for Lincoln City, who beat off their local rivals Grimsby Town for his signature.
Kerr enjoyed an impressive debut season for Lincoln, under then manager, Keith Alexander, helping them reach their fourth successive play-off spot (albeit an unsuccessful one). The style of football played under Alexander, however, often undermined Kerr's ability as a midfielder, despite his presence being felt throughout the campaign. The 2006/07 campaign, however, under new Head Coach, John Schofield, has meant that Kerr can freely showcase his abilities. Kerr, as a consequence, has formed a solid partnership with Lee Frecklington in the middle of the park for Lincoln, helping them in their promotion push for the fifth successive season.
