Bayern Munich have completed the signing of Scotland midfielder Sam Kerr from Rangers, with the 24-year-old agreeing a three-year contract with the German champions. Kerr moved to Rangers from Scottish champions Glasgow City in 2020 and was instrumental in helping them win the league title last season. During her time at Rangers, Kerr made 39 appearances, scoring eight goals, and also won the League Cup. She expressed her “love” for Rangers after “an incredible three years”, but was delighted to be joining “one of the biggest clubs in the world”.
Kerr, who has been capped 14 times by Scotland and was named Scotland’s 2022 Women’s Player of the Year, is an energetic player who gives her all for the team. Bayern technical director Francisco De Sa Fardilha is delighted to sign such an “ambitious” player, saying that she fits everything this club stands for. He added: “She has the fighting spirit, she has the tactical quality and the technical quality. Above everything, she’s hungry.”
Kerr’s last game for Rangers was in Sunday’s 2-0 Scottish Cup final defeat by Celtic, where she surprisingly started on the bench. Manager Malky Thomson explained pre-match that she had an injury that meant she would not last the whole 90 minutes at Hampden.
