Samantha Mary Kerr (born 17 April 1999) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Women's Super League club Liverpool and the Scotland national team. She has previously played for Central Girls, Glasgow City, Rangers and Bayern Munich.
Club career Kerr played for Central Girls (previously Falkirk FC Girls) from age 12 to 16. In May 2015, she captained Graeme High School to the Scottish School Girls Cup.
Glasgow City In January 2016, at the age of 16, Kerr signed for Glasgow City. 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." In March 2016, she helped the club defeat Glasgow Girls to advanced to the semi-finals of the Scottish Women's Premier League Cup. 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.'Qualifying for the last eight of the UWCL, I was crying for hours' – Samantha Kerr (Glasgow City), SheKicks, 1 May 2020
