Cammy Kerr, a long-time player for Dundee, has decided to part ways with his boyhood club after 20 years and join Queen’s Park on a one-year contract. This move was described by Kerr himself as one of the most challenging decisions he has had to make in his career.
The 28-year-old officially signed his new contract at Dens Park in May 2023 and was even honored with a testimonial game against Celtic in November. Despite his long history with Dundee, Kerr’s playing time under Tony Docherty had decreased leading up to the New Year, which eventually led to a loan move to Inverness Caledonian Thistle in January.
This transition signifies the end of an era for Kerr, who has been a loyal and committed player for Dundee throughout his professional career. While fans of the club may be saddened by his departure, they will also acknowledge the significant impact he has had on the team during his 272 games in Dark Blue, understanding his desire for regular first-team football.
Queen’s Park welcomed Kerr to Lesser Hampden, with manager Callum Davidson highlighting the player’s top-flight experience and confirming his immediate inclusion in the Spider’s squad for an upcoming Premier Sports Cup Group C game against Hibernian.
In an emotional video shared on social media, Kerr expressed his gratitude to Dundee and its fans for the unwavering support he has received over the years. He reminisced about his journey with the club, which began at the age of five, emphasizing the emotional difficulty of saying goodbye to a place that has been a constant presence in his life.
Dundee also released a statement recognizing Kerr’s invaluable contribution to the team and thanking him for his dedication to the club. Despite his departure, Kerr will always hold a special place in Dundee’s history and will be remembered with the highest regard.
As Kerr embarks on a new chapter with Queen’s Park, fans and supporters will undoubtedly continue to follow his career with admiration and respect, knowing that his legacy at Dundee will forever be cherished.
