Rory Kerr (born 20 December 1979 in Glasgow) is a former Scotland rugby union international and Glasgow Warriors player. He could play at Fullback or Wing positions.

Amateur career

He played for various clubs. Starting out at amateur level with his local side Strathendrick he moved on to West of Scotland.[1]

He was part of the Glasgow Thistle's squad that went to New Zealand for rugby training.[1]

After a season hampered by injury in 2004-05, Kerr left Glasgow Warriors to go to New Zealand.[1]

He returned to Scotland in 2006 and then played for amateur side Glasgow Hawks.[2]

His career went full circle by going back to his first amateur team Strathendrick in 2011[5] He still plays for the team.[3]

Professional career

He secured a contract with Glasgow Warriors in 2000.[4] A fans favourite,[1] he wrote a column for the Glasgow Warriors website[1] on being a professional player.

A difficult season under Kiwi Searancke made Kerr almost sign for Newcastle Falcons but he wasn't released by the Glasgow coaches. He stated: ""I was desperate to play rugby. There's nothing worse than training all week, and then not getting on to play. In retrospect, they weren't really the coaches from hell! They tried to change things and had some good ideas. They just didn't get the man-management right."[5] That season, 2002–03, saw Kerr with 3 starts - all in the Scottish Inter-District Championship.

After a season hampered by injury in 2004-05, Kerr left Glasgow Warriors to go to New Zealand.[1]

He presented the match ball before a sell out Scotstoun Stadium in the 12 December 2015 Glasgow Warriors European Champions Cup match against Scarlets in European Rugby Champions Cup match.[6]
