Kerr Stays: Somerset Coach Extends Contract to 2028

Somerset's head coach, Jason Kerr, has extended his stay with the club, signing a new two-year contract that will keep him at the County Ground until at least the conclusion of the 2028 season. Kerr, who has been the head coach since 2018, has a proven track record of success. He previously led the team to victory in the One-Day Cup in 2019 and secured the Vitality Blast title twice, in 2023 and 2025.

His tenure has also seen Somerset achieve a third-place finish in the County Championship last season. Director of Cricket Andy Hurry praised Kerr's passion and his ability to instill a winning culture, noting the significant number of players and coaches who have progressed to international and global tournaments under his guidance. Somerset is currently enjoying a strong start to the season, remaining unbeaten in their first three County Championship matches.
