Scott Kerr (born 11 December 1981 in Leeds) is an English football midfielder who plays for Lincoln City

Playing career

Kerr 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.

Kerr left Bradford to join Yorkshire rivals Hull City. He spent his first season at Hull on the injury list with a back injury and when fit he could never settle in the squad. In September 2002 he joined Frickley Athletic on loan, scoring on his debut against Harrogate Town on 17 September 2002. After a month at Frickley he returned to Hull but failed to make the first team and in March 2003 he left the club without making a single senior appearance. He joined Scarborough, where his impressive displays led 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 score 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 head coach, John Schofield, meant that Kerr was able freely showcase his abilities. Kerr, as a consequence, 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.
