Chennaiyin FC on Tuesday announced the signing of Jamaican international goalkeeper Duwayne Kerr for the 2016 edition of the Indian Super League (ISL).
The 29-year-old from Westmoreland, Jamaica, joins ISL champions Chennaiyin on a free transfer after the expiry of his contract with Iceland's top-tier club Stjarnan.
Kerr started his career at hometown club Reno and spent two seasons there before moving to Portmore United, another Jamaican club, in 2007.
Four years later, he joined Strommen in the Norway second tier. After a two-year stint there, Kerr signed for Sarpsborg in the Norwegian top division and spent four seasons there before the move to Iceland.
Kerr made his international debut for Jamaica in 2007 and has made 15 appearances. He has represented Jamaica in the North American Gold Cup and was part of their squad in the 2015 and 2016 editions of the Copa America with two starts in 2015 against Uruguay and Paraguay.
In May, Kerr played the second half of Jamaica's 2-1 win over Copa America champions Chile in an international friendly.
"Duwayne is a quality goalkeeper with plenty of experience in Europe and international level," Chennaiyin FC manager Marco Materazzi. "He will have a very important role in our title defence."
Kerr said, "I would like to thank coach Materazzi and the owners for giving me this opportunity at Chennaiyin FC. I am really looking forward to start a new chapter of my career in India and hope to help Chennaiyin keep the trophy."
