Samantha Mary Kerr (born 17 April 1999) is a Scottish footballer who plays for Bayern Munich and the Scotland national team as a midfielder. She has previously played for Central Girls, Glasgow City and Rangers.

Club career

[edit]

Kerr played for Central Girls (previously Falkirk FC Girls)[3] from age 12 to 16.[4][5] In May 2015, she captained Graeme High School to the Scottish School Girls Cup.[6]

Glasgow City

[edit]

In January 2016, at the age of 16, Kerr signed for Glasgow City.[7] Of her signing, Glasgow City head coach Scott Booth said, "Sam Kerr is a young player with special qualities... We are delighted she has chosen to join Glasgow City to further develop her talents as she progresses into a fantastic career in the game."[8] In March 2016, she helped the club defeat Glasgow Girls to advanced to the semi-finals of the Scottish Women's Premier League Cup.[9] Kerr was a member of The Glasgow City squad that won the SWPL for the 10th consecutive year at the end of the 2016 season; this was the first time in Scottish football history that any senior club achieved this (no men's team amassed more than nine in a row). She also participated in more title wins in 2018, 2017 and 2019 – the 2020 season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Scotland – and played in the UEFA Women's Champions League, reaching the quarter-finals of the competition in 2019–20.[7]

Rangers

[edit]

In December 2020, Kerr moved to Rangers on a pre-contract arrangement agreed six months earlier (teammate Kirsty Howat made the same switch).[10] In the 2021–22 season, she scored the first-ever goal scored by the women's team at Ibrox Stadium in a win over Aberdeen,[11] and was named in the PFA Scotland Team of the Year as Rangers won the SWPL championship for the first time.[12]

Bayern Munich

[edit]

Kerr signed a three-year contract with Bayern Munich on 30 May 2023.[13]

International career

[edit]

Kerr has represented Scotland at the under-15[14][15] and under-17 levels[16] including the group stage of the 2014 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship.[17] Her UEFA competition debut was on 9 October 2014 against Montenegro.[18] Samantha has also represented Scotland at the under-19 level at The Euros and The La Manga Cup in Spain. She was added to the full Scotland squad for the first time in November 2018,[19] and was one of two uncapped players picked for the 2020 Pinatar Cup.[20] Kerr made her full international debut in that tournament, playing the last 13 minutes of a 3–0 win against Ukraine on 4 March.[21]
