In 2007, McKerr was signed by Birmingham City manager Steve Bruce from Glenavon on a two-year professional contract.[1] In November, Bruce left the club before Alex McLeish, the former Scotland manager, took over the club. McKerr was deemed as surplus and was loaned out for the remainder of his contract with the club. In the 2008–09 season, he spent time on loan at Redditch United[2] and Dundalk,[3] during which time he was called up for the Northern Ireland under–20 squad.
Following his release from Birmingham City in 2009, McKerr joined Oldham Athletic. Despite receiving an offer from Scottish club Rangers, he opted for a 12-month contract at Boundary Park.[4] He was one of six players released by Oldham at the end of his contract in June 2010, without having appeared for the first team.[5]
In August 2010 McKerr signed a one-year contract with IFA Premiership club Dungannon Swifts.[6]
