Kerr trains with Falkirk

FREED Hibs midfielder Brian Kerr is training with Falkirk as he seeks a new club, writes Iain Collin. Head coach John Hughes has granted the out-of-contract 26-year-old the use of the club's state-of-the-art facilities at Stirling University as he bids to keep his fitness levels up.

Kerr last month negotiated his early release from the remaining season of his contract at Easter Road after finding himself frozen out of the first-team picture by manager Mixu Paatelainen.

But Hughes admits he does not have the money to make a move for the former Newcastle trainee, who has found his career in limbo after falling out of favour in the capital.

"If I had the money would I sign him? It would depend how much money he was wanting. But right at this moment in time I've got great confidence and belief in my midfielders."
