Dundee are delighted to confirm that Cammy Kerr has signed a two year deal with the club today.
18 year old Cammy enjoyed a fine end to the season, as well as picking up the Isobel Sneddon Memorial Trophy for Youth Player’s Player of the Year, he also made the break through into the 1st team and played his part in the club winning the SPFL Championship title.
A natural right back, he was a regular for the Reserve side throughout the year and ended the season by captaining Gavin Rae’s team on a number of occasions.
A consistent performer, Cammy impressed throughout the season and his form was rewarded when he made his first team debut at Dens against Livingston in January. Then boss John Brown brought him on with ten minutes remaining.
In April, suspension for regular first team right back Gary Irvine at a vital time in the season saw the door open again for Cammy to make his first start for the club. New boss Paul Hartley put his faith in him and he didn’t disappoint putting in a fine performance and Dundee saw off Cowdenbeath with a 4-0 win at Dens. He kept his place the following week and also started in a match against Greenock Morton at Cappielow.
Manager Paul Hartley told us he was “Delighted” to have Cammy tied up, going on to say “He’s a local boy and it was great to see the reaction he got from the fans when he played for the first team. He’s got a chance now to make a name for himself over the next few seasons.”
Cammy is a product of Dundee’s youth set up having joined the club’s community programme at just 8 years old, he has progressed through the ranks to feature in the first team.
