Previous clubs: Bradford City, Hull City and Scarborough.

Signed: July 2005.

Scott Kerr is a midfielder and a former member of the semi-professional England team; hence he is highly-rated and has proved an excellent replacement for Richard Butcher.

Kerr began his career at Bradford City as a trainee but left in June 2001 after making just 3 appearances. He joined Hull City for a nominal fee but failed to make an impact as he played just once for Hull.

It was in March 2003 that he turned his career around, when he signed for Scarborough on a free transfer. Overall, he made 92 appearances for Scarborough, scoring 2 goals. Kerr rejected Barnet to join Lincoln but as he was only 23-years-old, he was therefore ineligible to leave under the Bosman Ruling unless a transfer fee is paid.

In June 2004, Scarborough chairman Malcolm Reynolds said: "Whoever Scott signs for will have to pay us a compensation fee to be decided by an FA tribunal unless the clubs can agree a fee."

However, in a twist, an admin error resulted in Scarborough losing any entitlement to a transfer fee and Kerr joined Lincoln on a free transfer. He is an expert at set-piece delivery.

Kerr was a unsung hero of Lincoln City FC's 2005/06 season's play-off qualifying team. He is a hardworking midfielder who can pass the ball well. New Imps' manager John Schofield has promised that his players will play a more passing style, which should suit and improve Kerr. He indeed did enjoy a good 2006/07 season and was rewarded when he was named as the new captain.

The 2007/08 season saw Kerr enjoy a steady season, while retaining the captaincy. His reward was a new one-year contract that ties to The Imps until June 2009; this contract was extended in January 2009 to keep Kerr at Sincil Bank until at least June 2010.

Kerr's fine performances during the 2008/09 season earnt him that season's Lincoln City Player of the Season award.
