Wigan Athletic has confirmed that their Scottish captain, Jason Kerr, aged 29, will be leaving this summer as his contract is expiring and will not be extended. A return to Scotland is considered a likely possibility, although a club with the standing of Sheffield Wednesday could potentially persuade the centre-back to remain in England. Kerr, a former Scotland U21 international who joined Wigan in August 2021, is considered a strong player at the League One level with significant leadership qualities and is expected to attract interest from multiple clubs. His impending free agency is presented as a point of interest for SWFC, as he could become an important part of the club's rebuilding process at Hillsborough. According to Transfermarkt, he has a current market value of €700k.
