克尔从维冈竞技加盟希伯尼安，这是一个“意义非凡的时刻”。

Jason Kerr says joining Hibernian on a two-year deal "is a significant moment for me".

The 29-year-old Scottish defender leaves Wigan Athletic, where he made more than 130 appearances over a five-year spell, to join the club he supported growing up.

Former Scotland Under-21 player Kerr started his career at St Johnstone and played 147 times for the Perth club, also having loan spells at East Fife and Queen of the South.

"It's a well-known secret that I'm a Hibs fan," Kerr told club media. "I was about five or six when I came to Easter Road for my first game. To actually be here as a player is a significant moment for me – I'm buzzing.

"I was out of contract with Wigan and [Hibs head coach David Gray] had seen me play a few times last season. I just felt it was the right move at this stage of my career.

"Hibs are only going one way right now and that's up."

Kerr was part of the Saints side that won the League Cup and Scottish Cup in 2021.

"We had a great season at St Johnstone and I was captain," he said. "We managed to win two trophies, which was extraordinary at the time.

"Then I went to Wigan and soon became captain there as well. I feel those experiences have helped me a lot in my career and they've matured me as both a person and as a player.

"I'll bring a lot of experience, of course, but I'll always give 100% for the badge."
