Brighton & Hove Albion have strengthened their Premier League 2 squad with the signing of Celtic defender Josh Kerr.
Kerr, 19, will join for an undisclosed fee on a two-year contract from 10 June.
“We are delighted that we’ve been able to acquire the services of Josh for next season," Brighton’s PL2 manager Simon Rusk told seagulls.co.uk. “He will be an excellent addition to the under-23 squad, and his versatility across the back four will be a key asset.”
