St Johnstone tie Jason Kerr down to new deal

The defender has impressed for Saints this season.

St Johnstone have moved to fend off interest in Jason Kerr by tying the defender down on a new three-and-a-half-year deal.

English League One side Barnsley were unsuccessful with a reported £100,000 offer for the 21-year-old earlier this week.

Now Saints boss Tommy Wright is looking forward to working with the former Scotland Under-21 cap for the foreseeable future after securing his services until May 2022.

Kerr made his Saints first-team breakthrough 12 months ago with a debut in the William Scottish Cup victory over Albion Rovers.

Before that the highly-rated centre-back had spent six months on loan at Queen of the South having previously helped East Fife lift the Ladbrokes League Two title back in 2015/16.

Kerr has been an ever-present fixture in Wright's squad this season having already registered 28 appearances while contributing three goals.
